Description:Emplaced on tabular, silvery-white muscovite is a cluster of five lustrous and fairly transparent, sky-blue, aquamarine crystals to 6 cm in length. The crystals all exhibit flattened, slightly modified, basal terminations. It is almost pristine, despite its size: only two crystals have small nicks at their terminations. A very compelling Pakistani aqua cluster of classic symmetry and style, these actually can vary greatly in price depending on source, and on quality and aesthetics issues. I find this one particularly aesthetic , and i like the even pastel blue color (not too pale, nor too gray hued). I value this one at $3000-4000. It has an old Herb Obodda dealer stock label marked $4000. The mass here is 689 grams...hefty!
