Excellent condition, with no noticeable nicks.
This piece is a rare find from an old collection, it was rediscovered when a storage unit containing display cases and a few dusty old mineral flats was purchased from a mineral dealer in Tucson, Arizona. One of the mineral flats was etched Beryl and we were able to purchase the flat. Most of the pieces are Aquamarine and only a few Heliodor.
