4.1 x 2.5 x 2.3 cm. Rich green, gemmy and lustrous, emerald crystals are aesthetically set in matrix of sharp schorl crystals and quartz on this classic emerald crystal combination piece from North Carolina. The largest emerald is 1.1 cm. Some of the crystals are euhedral and some are cleavages. The color and lustre are very good and this is a highly representative example from this well-known locale. Ex. Larry Krause Collection.
