Description
Through an extraordinarily slow and complex process, fine green crystalline columns formed among metamorphic rock and hydrothermal veins to become one of the most prized minerals on Earth.
From its long, fragile spires to its unusually large size, this is an astonishing beautiful emerald specimen.
Although Columbia provides more than 50% of the world’s emeralds, many other lands have them. This unique specimen was discovered in Dayakou Emerald Mine, Malipo County, Wenshan, Yunnan Province, in southern China.
(Bright green crystal spikes radiate from a central point. These striking formations stand out against the rocky surface, showcasing nature's beauty.)
