Item Description

A large, show-stopping gem cluster of aquamarine! This whopper is complete and uncontacted. You can see how originally the thinner, tallest crystal formed, and later another crystal wrapped around it, creating this unusual multiple termination and a tiered effect. A small sidecar crystal pokes out at the side. There is one small, extremely shallow and nearly unnoticeable shave at one edge of the termination, otherwise it is pristine all around - remarkable for so splayng and 3-dimensional a specimen. Weighs approx. 120 grams. Valued at $3200 pretty fairly I would say, for the rich color, and condition, and most importantly that it is so large and yet unrepaired. Comes with a custom-cut and labeled acrylic base (which itself cost $125), included.
