    Sold to me as preformed by a way back friend of mine, a local miner/faceter from near to the find area - who was helping the few man original work crew on the mine site. The rough was recovered years ago, when the mine was still producing.
    The only informative last pictures are representing: me at the mine back in the day in 2004 when it was still operating; and the pit abandoned in 2019. The final picture is from the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK-Espoo 2021 museum collection), the only Luumäki Beryl on show (a small flawed gem as most usually is the nature of the material).
