Massive Beryl in pale green color.
Beryl can appear in different colors, its best-known gem-quality varieties are: emerald (green), aquamarine (light blue), heliodor (golden yellow), morganite (pink), bixbite (pink) and goshenite (colorless).
Beryl is used as the ore of the element beryllium.
The mineral includes a label with the name and origin and is attached to a cardboard box. 4 cm square.
*The price is per unit (a single cardboard box of the four shown in the photo)
Since the minerals are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The minerals come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the mineral. The size is approximate.
