Gem Aquamarine with Albite (ex Obodda)

Item Description

A striking GEM QUALITY aqua, complete all-around, with 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, schorl and muscovite matrix is an excellent accent. A very trivial bit of termination and edge wear is noted. This is a choice, very aesthetic gem specimen. Classic and desirable Shigar aquamarine. 20 grams. Valued at $1000-1250. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
