miniature – 4.5 x 3.5 x 3 cm
Martin Zinn #6229 (w/label) A diminutive (15 x 5 mm) but nearly flawless emerald sitting regally on a matrix of massive white calcite over schist. The crystal is un-included and gem clear throughout; the matrix beneath the inner edges of the emerald is clearly visible. The top of the prism displays wonderful beveled faces. To me from Rob Lavinsky, from Collector's Edge, from MZIII. ----- Photos ©2006 Richard Geiger
