This striking miniature specimen exhibits a crimson red beryl crystal perched on rhyolite. The beautifully proportioned red beryl measures 1.5 cm long by .5 cm wide. The mines that produce this rare beryl have been either closed or in very minimal production for the last ten years or more. Often referred to as a "red emerald," there are far fewer of these in existence than their green counterparts. Its in pristine condition, with no dings or damage to the crystal.
