Comment: Intense golden yellow crystal , complete all-around, with a 1 cm aquamarine termination atop that is exceptionally well formed and equant. There is a clean repair 4 cm up from the bottom. This old classic locale has produced unique heliodor (golden beryl) crystals of this style, on and off, over the years. These are from a new pocket found summer of 2010, and are particularly lustrous and intensely colored.

Minerals: Beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈) Aquamarine
