Beryl var: Aquamarine

Item Description

These unique and impressive specimens are some of the most distinctive and attractive Aquamarines from any world locality. They have become some of the most distinctive and easily recognizable Aqua specimens in the world for their notably tabular crystal habit. Tabular Aquamarine crystals are rare, and the crystals from Mt Xuebaoding are superb quality to boot ! This eye-catching robust cabinet sized display piece features many sharp, very lustrous, gemmy, soft blue color, unusually TABULAR and notably THICK hexagonal crystals of Aquamarine measuring up to 4.2 cm across associated with a several additional Aqua crystals, plus bladed, silvery Muscovite crystals. The quality good on the piece, though the periphery is rough where the piece was removed from the pocket wall, and there are a few little nicks on some of the Aqua crystals, so the piece is not 100% pristine, but still showy and highly displayable. Priced in our inventory at $3,500 for size, aesthetic and overall displayability. From the collection of Vasco Trancoso, a medical doctor and prominent mineral collector from near Lisbon, Portugal (https://www.mindat.org/user-11954.html). He assembled his mineral collection over the course of 60 years, and built a fine worldwide display collection that we recently purchased.
