Item Description
A gemmy, multi-crystal group of soft blue color Aquamarine crystals with good luster. The attractive form of the dozens of parallel-growth crystals creates a pleasing "spray" of Aquamarine, that is unusual for the material. The terminations of the crystals are nearly water-clear, with sharp, hexagonal form. Some superficial contacts keep the piece from being 100% perfect, but it is still a worthwhile and eye-catching display specimen that stands out from the more typical single prisms from Pakistan.
