it should be an old specimen, or not ? |
Philippe, I do not know. There were no old labels, just the dealer label, so l don't have any provenance. There was a field trip to that mine in July 2019.

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!
