Hello Don!
I also have really nice free-standing emeralds from Dayakou, but yours is the best one I have seen up to now! Wonderful paragenesis with the scheelites, too!
Best wishes and stay healthy!

Scheelite together with emerald, you don't see that combination often!
Really an incredibly beautiful combination specimen from Malipo, Don!
Best regards
