We explored a pegmatite dyke in Velešín environement this weekend. Pegmatite is the beryl-bearing type, but unknown for local collectors. We spent there only about two hours and we found several pieces of beryl, the largest one is almost 10 cm long. We will continue in exploration of pegmatite for several next weekends and we hope to find the other specimen of beryl.

The largest found beryl.
