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 sharp, lustrous, gemmy to WATER CLEAR, pale blue, unusually tabular crystals of Aquamarine on bladed silver Muscovite matrix. The quality is good overall, but the periphery is contacted where the piece was removed from the pocket wall. The largest Aquamarine crystal measures 1.2 cm. A good representative specimen from this unique locality. There is a bit of roughness, but a nice overall reference specimen.
