Single Pezzottaite crystal (Caesium rich Beryl) with a raspberry red color and good transparency. The crystal has a broad, smooth front face with bevelled edges and a more etched and stepped growth on the backside. A small terminated Tourmaline crystal extends into the lower right side of the Pezzottaite with the termination fully included inside. These are rare Beryl specimens and are no longer being found!!! Valued at $500 (and likely to increase in value over time).
