Well terminated 2.6cm wide crystal of Goshenite (colorless Beryl) on an albite matrix. What is neat about this specimen is that it has Muscovite both attached tot he outside AND included within the crystal. You can see a bright silvery diamond-shaped Muscovite a few mm beneath the termination face. Glassy luster and transparent at the termination.
