Terminated single Emerald crystal from recent finds in Nigeria. Highly transparent and glassy with some horizontal color banding. Complete all around with a smooth, flat termination. Color-zoned green Beryl are uncommon, with the Emeralds from Torrington, Australia being the most well known examples prior to this find. Fine, undamaged gem crystal.
