Beryllonite California Amblygonite is a relatively rare

Amblygonite is a relatively rare stone and is only found from a few localities in top gem material

but rather an interesting arrangement of tetragonal crystals creating a “tree” shape

Beryllonite California Amblygonite is a relatively rareWhen it comes to specimens of Beryllonite, the finest examples are those from Afghanistan. This rare sodium beryllium phosphate is often found in smaller, nondescript specimens from various other pegmatite localities around the world, but the specimens from Afghanistan are incredibly well formed, large and beautiful. This piece is a good sized, sharp, well formed, euhedral, pseudo hexagonal (monoclinic) crystal group of Beryllonite showing the typical
