Description:One of two highly unusual association pieces I got in a recent shipment, featuring a 1.1-centimeter octohedral microlite perched on a gemmy and lustrous, hexagonal goshenite beryl with a blue-green core. The ends of the aqua appear to be broken and then naturally rehealed. The microlite is missing part of one corner in the rear, but otherwise is in excellent shape and displays well frontally, particularly for being so exposed to the elements. Most unusual and unique, as I cannot think of seeing another microlite directly on aquamarine from these localities! Or from anywhere, come to that....Valued at ???
