Item Description

These specimens are some of the most unique and attractive Aquas from any locality. They have become some of the most distinctive and easily recognizable Aquas on the planet. Tabular Aquamarine crystals are rare, but some of the Aquas from Xuebaoding are absolutely superb quality to boot! This particular piece features a sharp, lustrous, gem/gemmy light blue, unusually tabular crystal of Aquamarine measuring 2.6 cm across sitting atop a crystallized matrix of compressed, bladed, silvery Muscovite crystals on matrix. The quality of the crystal is good and is very gemmy, when so many from this locality are essentially opaque. Please note that the piece is sawed on the back.
