Large Tsavorite crystal on Graphite. This is a very large single crystal 3.5cm wide. It is undamaged however there is a fracture running down the center of the crystal preventing from being priced in the thousands of dollars. It had a Calcite coating that was removed during cleaning and the fracture was also formerly filled with Calcite (now gone). It is stable and undamaged with good luster.
