Aquamarine and Fluorite on Muscovite

Item Description

This is a dramatic cabinet specimen from Nagar, which is renowned for its Aquamarines. There are about a half-dozen Aquas in this cluster, the largest of which is 6.6 x 5.5 cm. The luster on these gemmy-to-translucent crystals is superb, particularly on the prism faces, and the color is a very uniform Cambridge blue (which makes the separation on the photos difficult). The Aquas are associated with classic pink/green Fluorites up to 3 cm and dozens of Muscovite blades, which are in excellent condition. If you were going to design a Nagar combination piece, you could be hard pressed do better than this aesthetic specimen where all three species compliment each other so nicely - and it will probably go for less than he was asking for it prior to 2008 when we bought out his inventory! From the old dealer stock of Herb Obodda, who opened up Pakistan in the 1980s.
