By Georg Brandt Idar-Oberstein, Germany A high-quality specimen of bi-color Brazilian beryl has been imaginatively used in this superb carving. The aquamarine (greenish-yellow beryl) portion, with its frosted surfaces has been used to convey the eucalyptus branches upon which the koala family climbs. The morganite (pink beryl) section was used to depict the mother koala and clinging offspring, suggesting the tan color of their fur, further accentuated by the naturalistic texturing. A final virtuoso touch—and a sign of a true master carver—is that the natural rough surface of the original hexagonal crystal was left visible on the back and underside of the carving. Signed with monogram GB for Georg Brandt. Measuring 3 ½ x 3 ½ x 2 ¼in
