Great finds, Rich! Looks like a lot of close chiseling work. :::taptaptapouch:::

Thanks I can't wait to get back and get the rest of the crystal

My claim partner and I got the (green beryl) tested and it came up with chromium! If you don't know chromium in beryl makes it EMERALD! According to GIA we are very excited about it so far we have pulled 92 kts of facet grade and approximately 15 lbs of specimen

Not so dark colour, but seems to have good clarity for emerald. Thanks for the update!
