Vorobyevite Beryl mineral specimens

A rare and unusual form of Beryl, with high Alkali content. The name was originally used to describe Caesium rich specimens from the Ural Mountains of Russia, or from Madagascar, but these specimens are of an alkali rich nature but low on Caesium.

The fine crystal sprays which tend to occur on some of these specimens are incredibly fragile.

Our current stock includes:

• #1 - 49x39x25MM -  Vorobyevite Beryl over Quartz, from Badakhshan, Afghanistan. This specimen has two very well defined Beryl crystals amid a forest of tiny Beryl crystals, best viewed under high magnification.
