There is a lot of names for these vanadium and chromium beryl crystals from Nigeria. Some say they’re emerald because they’re not colored by iron. Others call them green beryls, but they are also in the family aquamarine.
Whatever you call them, they have magnificent color, luster, and shape.
There’s no color editing or filters used here. It really looks this deeply saturated, with zero damage, and a cool frosty termination.
It measures 31 x 9 x 7 mm and weighs 2.76 grams
