I love the specimen form the Oceanview in Pala, California. Actually, I love the Oceanview Mine. I go down there several times a year to do their fee dig and know the owner, Jeff, and crew well. They are very active on facebook now and post pictures of the people at their fee dig and of the new specimens they are finding. They are into a very rich section of the pegmatite right now.
I actually found a 5 cm beryl on their tailing pile last year. The color was pale so I had put it in the bucket where I gather quartz specimens to clean later and use for the children's program of our rock club. Jeff was walking by the screening tables and grabbed it out of my bucket. He said it was from the "49-er pocket". It has about 20% with very pale aquamarine color and a smaller section with pale morganite coloration. It has slight damage to the edges of the crystal but is otherwise intact and has a few tiny quartz sidecar crystals. Not bad for the $60 fee.

Unfortunately Ocean View is so far from Russia and here for example, cuprite specimen from Rubtsovsk mine, for 50 usd you can get .... that the international market will be cost several hundred dollars... And here, in Russia, specimens from Pala, Himalaya and Ocean View mines is too rare on local maket...
Yours faithfully,
Oleg
