PEZZOTTAITE1

This is a colorful, gemmy example of the Cesium-rich Beryl from the type locality. We were fortunate enough to get a mention in the Mineralogical Record that covered the Tucson 2011 Main show regarding what a value our Pezzottaites were. The crystal isn't broken, it's naturally tabular and quite transparent. This material is scarce and quite expensive, if this crystal had distinct crystallized faces it would be in the $500+ range.
