The only informative last pictures are representing: me at the mine back in the day in 2004 when it was still producing, 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).
