Item Description

These specimens are some of the most unique and attractive Aquas from any locality. They have become some of the most distinctive and easily recognizable Aquas on the planet. Tabular Aquamarine crystals are rare, but some of the Aquas from Xuebaoding are absolutely superb quality to boot! This particular piece features a handful of sharp, lustrous, gemmy light blue, unusually tabular crystal of Aquamarine measuring up to 1.6 cm across sitting atop a crystallized matrix of compressed, bladed, silvery Muscovite crystals. The quality of the main crystal is good and is pretty gemmy, when so many from this locality are essentially opaque.
