Aquamarine xls & Muscovite (Bob Reynolds Coll.)

Item Description

A 7.3 cm aquamarine crystal (4.7 cm exposed in the front) dramatically dominates this well-composed small cabinet combination from Nagar. A transparent 5 mm light ice-blue section crowns the body of the darker ice-blue gemmy/translucent, very glassy and lustrous textbook hexagonal prism. The gemmy 4.0 cm side car aqua, striking opposing 2.6 cm gem aqua at the base, smaller aquas, a super-stand alone 1.8 cm muscovite plate and the rich cluster of pearlescent muscovite plates make for an artistic and aesthetic combination. There are bigger, and gemmier, and fancier pieces, but this is just a really NICE specimen for the size and probable price range, and just "pops" in person more than in the photos because it is very 3-dimensional. Ex Bob Reynolds Collection, a well-known fossil and mineral expert and Curator of the San Bernardino County Museum. Classic and excellent combination material valued at $2500.
