Item Description

What a fine combo specimen! A large, interestingly etched, doubly terminated, glassy and gemmy beryl var. aquamarine, measuring 5.4 cm in length and colored sky blue, is nestled aesthetically high on a matrix of white albite rosettes. The matrix is a gorgeous accent and contrast to the crystal. The specimen is festooned with lustrous, black schorl crystals, the largest of which sits aesthetically next to the aquamarine crystal and measures 6 cm in length. Additionally, gem clear, colorless quartz crystals, to 3.4 cm in length, are situated on the albite. Overall a classic combination piece. Ex old Herb Obodda dealer inventory at $4500
