Item Description

These are some of the most distinctive and attractive Aquamarine specimens from any locality. The crystals have an unusually tabular habit, which is rarely seen in Aquamarine. The best of these specimens are some of the finest matrix Aquas around. This specimen host several GLASSY, sharp, GEM/gemmy, pale sky blue, tabular crystals of Aquamarine which are associated with beautifully contrasting white, blocky single crystals of Albite and are sitting atop a bed of silvery-gold bladed Muscovite crystals on matrix. The largest Aquamarine crystal measures 3.1 cm. The Aqua crystals are SUPERB quality and loaded with lots of first and second order modifications. This specimen was VERY difficult to photograph, but take my word for it, it's better in person. For the size, aesthetics and quality, this a choice cabinet display specimen. that would make a fine addition to any collection. Priced in the inventory at $2,000.
