✨ Natural Chrysoberyl Crystals on Matrix – 22.73 Grams – Malyshevo, Ural Mountains, Russia ✨
Presenting a natural Chrysoberyl specimen with green gem crystals set on their native mica matrix, sourced from the renowned Malyshevo deposit in the Ural Mountains of Russia — one of the most historic and prestigious gem-producing regions in the world.
This piece showcases well-defined chrysoberyl crystals embedded in their original host rock, displaying the glassy luster and rich green tone characteristic of quality Ural material. (Please note: this is standard chrysoberyl — it does not show the color change of alexandrite.)

• Rich green color with vitreous luster
🔹 Origin:
• Malyshevo deposit, Ural Mountains, Russia
• One of the most historic and prestigious gemstone sources worldwide
🔹 Crystal & Matrix Details:
• Natural, uncut chrysoberyl crystals embedded in original mica matrix
• Raw and untouched — a geological collector’s piece
• 100% natural, with no treatment or enhancement
📏 Measurements:
• Size: 36.3 × 31.6 × 14.3 mm
• Weight: 22.73 grams
💎 Hardness: 8.5 (Mohs scale) – durable and ideal for display or long-term preservation.
🔍 Why This Specimen Stands Out:
• True Russian origin — not synthetic or lab-grown
• Well-formed gem crystals on natural matrix
• Attractive green color with strong luster
• Fine collector size, ideal for a thumbnail or reference collection
🔹 Authentication:
• Independent GIA testing available on request, with buyer covering lab costs (50% deposit required)
• As a professional mineralogist and gemologist, I fully stand behind the identification and natural, untreated status of this specimen
⸻
Whether you are a serious collector, gem enthusiast, or natural history lover, this specimen offers the chance to own a genuine piece of Russia’s mineral legacy from one of its most storied deposits.
