Description:An aesthetic combination specimen from Pakistan from the Joan Massague Collection. A 3.0 x 2.3 gem aquamarine crystal is beautifully set amongst rosettes of pearlescent, muscovite blades. Two, small, pink apatite crystals to 5 mm, in front of the aqua are a very nice accent. Trivial edgewear to the aqua and scattered bruising to the muscovite blades are noted. This remains an extremely showy and highly representative combo specimen from this uncommon Pakistan locale.
