Hello,
Your photos are always so perfect.
I also admire the beautiful trapiche emeralds.

Stunning photos Mike and fine specimens. I especially like the second trapiche emerald in matrix. A truly great specimen. And the color-zoned beryl from Australia is remarkable.

I go with the Australian beryl as well. Did you often see such specimens ?

Thanks John and Chris. That is the only Australian beryl in matrix that I have seen since I picked that one up many years ago.
