Aquamarine and Muscovite on Albite ex Obodda

Item Description

A 4.9 cm, gemmy and lustrous aquamarine crystal with fine blue color is jauntily angled on the blocky albite crystal plate accented with numerous, pearlescent, muscovite books. The muscovite embedded on and included in the aqua, plus the bit of internal crazing, add much character to this beautiful, water-clear crystal. The aqua has only the most trivial of termination edge wear. This is classic, excellent and very aesthetic combination material from the Shigar Valley. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this fine piece at $900, five or more years ago. Valued today at $1200-1400.
