Item Description

This gemmy crystal has DEEP blue color, really in a class above the normal Pakistani aquas and characteristic of the rarer Nepalese aquas when found. luster is extremely good, like glass, and the piece is better in person! It is also doubly-terminated. One end is tapered and the other is complete, although rough from regrowth in the pocket. The cleavelandite corsage is a super accent. One side is contacted but has no damage, per se. Complete all-around and very nearly pristine, with only the slightest of edgewear. Gorgeous, gemmy, great color and rare. 37 grams. Valued at $1250. Found in about 2000
