This specimen is from the Ray Mica Mine, near Burnsville, Yancey County, North Carolina. It has what appears to be a twinned crystal of green beryl in a muscovite-quartz matrix. This is a gemmy Beryl crystal as seen on the end of the crystal. It is a rare find from a 1950’s estate N.C. collection we acquired. This piece is a most interesting combination of minerals from this locale. There appears to be no albite in this specimen.

specimen weighs 7.3 oz or 0.46 lbs (209g) and measures 4 x 2 x 1.5 inches (10.1 x 5.2 x 3.8 cm) the visible crystal measures 1.2 x 0.9 x 0.6 inches 3 x 2.4 x 1.5 cm)
