Mineral: | Chrysoberyl
| Chemical Formula: | BeAl2O4 | Size: | | Weight: | | Transparence: | | Quantity: | | Origin: | Rakwana, Ratnapura, Province of Sabaragamuwa, Sri Lanka | Beautiful yellow chrysoberyl crystal disclosing a sixling shape. Sadly one interpenetration twin is not fully crystallized maybe to the fact that the crystal has been connected to its matrix. In the middle the crystal shows typical v-shaped crystal striations. The outer part has been slightly rounded by the fluviatile transport. The crystal shows a yellowish to greenish coloration and predominantly good transparency. Fine chrysoberyl specimen, more rarely found with this crystal shape.
