Found these in a consignment store, heap of rocks, various prices - a good quality, large beryl crystal perhaps a centimeter in diameter and 4 centimeters long, and a pyrite crystal. Exciting - not in and of themselves, but because clearly they're local specimens...

Pyrite crystal on left, Beryl visible in matrix centre right specimen.

Beryl on right - follow the line of the beryl crystal from close to centre right up the specimen. The photo is bad, but it's fairly long and glassy - yellowish, with lots of inclusions.
