Item Description

Water-clear, glassy, light blue aquamarine crystals aesthetically accented with pearlescent muscovite blades form a showy and excellent miniature from recent finds at Nagar, Pakistan. Complete all-around, the termination area is particualarly gemmy and the inclusions add character. Nearly pristine, a few nicked muscovite blades and a bit of trivial edgewear to the aqua are noted, but are very modest detractions. Highly representative and gemmy combination material from this locale.
