Description: Beryl (Var.: Emerald) Locality: Muzo, Vasquez-Yacopí Mining District, Boyacá Department, Colombia (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 1.6 x 1.6 x 0.8 cm. A bright grass-green Columbian emerald, with both terminations intact! (two small crystals are growing out of one of the terminations). It is translucent-to-transparent, and while not quite cutter quality, it has a lot of gemminess to it. In fact, parts of it COULD cut nice smaller stones. But this should be preserved as a fine crystal without cutting. Weighs 5 grams.
