Aquamarine (unusual fluorescence!) with Muscovite

Item Description

These specimens are some of the most unique and attractive Aquas from any locality. They have become some of the most distinctive and easily recognizable Aquas on the planet. Tabular Aquamarine crystals are rare, but some of the Aquas from Xuebaoding are absolutely superb quality to boot! This particular piece features a VERY GEMMY rather sharp, lustrous, light blue, unusually tabular crystal of Aquamarine measuring 1.6 cm associated with additional Aquamarines plus minor black Cassiterite sitting amongst compressed, bladed, silvery-tan Muscovite. The best part of the piece to me is the fact that the Beryls fluoresce a bright blue color under UV light, which is rather rare for the species. The quality of the main Aquamarine crystal is GREAT, as one rarely sees such lustrous and gemmy crystals of this material. It's hard to convey the quality through photos, and the piece is BETTER IN PERSON.
