Gem103 - Chrysoberyl - Deniyaya, Matara District, Southern Province, Sri Lanka

Absolutely superb, gem-quality sixling twin of chrysoberyl from Sri Lanka. Chrysoberyl sixlings of this quality are extremely rare from Sri Lanka. I obtained this crystal from a gemologist who purchased it at the mining area for her own collection in 2003. Damage-free, with superb luster and color. Photo by Joe Budd. 1.4 x 1.1 x 0.6 cm.
