Wonderful specimen. The cubic copper is in pole position on my wish list but to date I didn't see one specimen in Italian fairs.
Congratulations and... warm greetings from Tuscany.s

Thank you very much, Sante. I am glad you like the copper. I hope you find what you are looking for.
Happy New Year.

I have not seen many beryl crystals with hollow cavities (or tubes) that long. It's down to the lower halve of the front crystal... or maybe even more? Very likely due to a rapid growth mechanism...
Very nice Don!

Hello Gerard,
You have good eyesight. The tubes of larger diameter are more than half way down the twin crystals, but there are finer tubes lower down. It is very nice to hear from you.
Regards,
Don
