Aquamarine with Fluorite | An unusual association! This specimen hosts an absolutely gem , water-clear crystal f goshenite (colorless, with no trace of blue to my eye), associated with a fluorite on muscovite matrix. The goshenite crystal is really quite nice - exceptional in clarity, lustre, and brightness. The association i... | Beryl |

Morganite on Cleavelandite | This superb specimen is a glowing pink morganite crystal with exceptional color, perched smartly on a well-trimmed matrix of cleavelandite.

Morganite on Cleavelandite | A STUNNING gem crystal of PEACH morganite...often the Afghani morgs ar epink, but this is a rich , and rarer, peach-colored hue that is especially vibrant and treasured. The crystal has exceptional clarity , so you find yourself looking right through it to the matrix adhering to the back of the crys... | Beryl |
| Emerald | Without a doubt, this is the best Afghan specimen emerald for quality, regardless of size, I have ever seen. White marble acts as the matrix for a very gemmy, deep, emerald green, lustrous, crystal that measures 1.25 cm in length. One seldom sees specimens for sale and Afghan emeralds are uncommon i... | Beryl | |

Emerald | This is a totally transparent, 16.1 carat, nearly flawless, light emerald green crystal with a smaller sidecar perched near the termination. The large crystal measures 2.3 cm in length.

Morganite on Cleavelandite | This is a MAJOR specimen which Ed purchased directly out of a prominent California collection years ago. It has a morganite of the quality and brightness to rival Afghani material coming out today, although these are distinct upon close inspection. Few pockets of the San Diego material have the shee... | Beryl |

Aquamarine with Schorl | A dramatic 7 x 2.2 x 2 cm aquamarine here looks like it is about to leap off a well-trimmed matrix of schorl and albite. The piece is, for the size range, one of the most dramatic I saw of this new lot for those who like simple, stark dominant-crystal aesthetics. The aquamarine is freestanding on ha... | Beryl |

Aquamarine with Schorl | This specimen features a single, very thick, 7 x 2.2 x 2 cm crystal , with minor associated aqua and schorl at its base. It has some very minor edge wear, just a few nicks on the sides of the termination, and is otherwise pristine and complete all around. Very dramatic and 3-dimensional! | Beryl |
File:Beryl-Schorl-er03d.jpg File:Beryl-Schorl-er03a.jpg |
Aquamarine with Schorl | The larger crystal measures 6.5 x 3 x 2 cm in size, and the smaller is about 4.5 x 3 x 2 cm. These fat, 3-dimensional crystals tick out dramatically from a matrix of albite, and with schorl in the background for contrast. The matrix is actually a portion of an albite crystal, not just massive rock. ... | Beryl |

Aquamarine with Schorl | This specimen features a large, fat aqua impaling the matrix of schorl and hyalite opal. The aqua actually DOES run all the way through, and sticks out the other side.

Aquamarine with Schorl | One of the most aesthetic pieces to my eye, in the lot I saw, this 6.5-cm-tall crystal stands front and center, backed up by crystallized feldspar matrix and schorl accents.

Aquamarine | 3-dimensional cluster that gives new meaning to the words "aqua spray!" This pristine cluster is one of the best of this style I have seen recently, evoking a memory of a famous pocket that came out around 1988, where all the sprays were so dramatic (albeit with smaller crystal size). Now, such form... | Beryl |

Aquamarine on Muscovite | At first glance, you might think from the photos this would be a miniature - to have such balance and proportion is after all unlikely in a large specimen. Yet, at 1500 grams and 6 inches in length, its the size of a large grapefruit or small melon! This doubly-terminated "cannon" shaped aquamarine ... | Beryl |

Emerald on Calcite | A very attractive and affordable combination piece for emeralds, with beautiful, lustrous, bright crystals to about 1 cm sitting on a cluster of rhombohedral calcites.

It is really a bit prettier in perso... | Beryl |
