Sold to me as preformed by a way back friend of mine, a local miner/faceter from near to the find area - who was helping the few man original work crew on the mine site. The rough was recovered years ago, when the mine was still producing (about 2004-2007).
The only informative last pictures are representing: me at the mine back in the day in 2004 when it was still in operation; 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 usually is the nature of the material).
