Apparently a complete floater, this alkali-rich beryl crystal is a doubly terminated, tabular, lustrous and translucent, rich sky blue gem. Aesthetic! One of the few truly perfect floaters in the pocket! These were originally thought to be Rosterite or Vorobyevite, but further analysis by Dr. Federico Pezzotta confirmed they are alkali-rich beryls.
