Item Description

A beautiful gemmy and lustrous, pretty sea-blue aquamarine with a fine modified pinacoidal termination from the less well known Padre Paraiso area of Minas Gerais. The rich color, luster and glassiness, complex termination and albite crystals really add pizzazz to this showy piece. Complete all-around and pristine. One prism edge is partially contacted, but there is no damage, per se. The piece lights up, when backlit. Excellent 360 degree aqua from this locale. The last of a small lot we received. 50 grams mass. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
