Rare, multiple Red Beryl crystals, on Rhyolite matrix! This very colorful, and attractive specimen features several crystals Red Beryl on a snow white Rhyolite matrix. As you can see in the pictures, the crystal quality is quite sharp, full of luster and gemmy, with the classic gooseberry color! Although I did see some Red Beryl specimens at the previous Denver & Tucson Shows, I did not see any such as this one, with multiple crystals on matrix. I acquired this piece a couple of years ago. The latest news on the Violet mine is that the lower pit which produced the better quality specimens (like the ones featured here on my site), is now defunct. Although the upper pit is still some what active, the quality does not compare to those previosily mined from the lower pit. This makes good quality specimens much tougher to find. The
