Item Description

A striking GEM QUALITY aqua, complete all-around, long and slender with a lovely light-blue color. The specimen is so transparent you can read through it. You can look down the attractive well-developed termination through the crystal to the base - always highly desirable in a top gem crystal like this aqua. The luster is outstanding, mirror-like and clear. It is so gemmy that the camera has a hard time capturing focus on the surfaces as it keeps trying to focus on the middle of the piece. The small bit of albite matrix is an excellent accent. A very trivial bit of termination and edge wear is noted. This is a choice, very aesthetic gem specimen. Valued at $2500. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
