Vorobyevite Description

Vorobyevite is a rare alkali Beryl variety containing Cesium that are found in limited localities around the world.  It was first discovered as colorless ones in Russia, and its name also applied to rosy colored and colorless alkali Beryls from Madagascar.  There was a relatively new found at the Afghanistan locality several years ago, and those tend to have beautiful celestial blue colors. Crystals may be recently 'discovered', but in actuality they have existed long before and quite ancient.
