Size: 3.68 x 2.78 x 2.88 inches
Not a bad lower cost example of an Emerald from Brazil. There are multiple crystals scatted through the specimen. This is a nice fist sized piece that does not break the bank.
Emerald is a gemstone and a variety of the mineral beryl colored green by trace amounts of chromium. Most emeralds are highly included and therefore cut emeralds are graded based under no magnification. Emeralds have been mined for over 3,500 years. Emerald is the traditional birthstone for May.
