Item Description

Impressive cluster of sharp, 2-cm Aquamarines intergrown with HUNDREDS of slender, attractive Schorl crystals. The Aquas are light blue, well-terminated save for only one broken crystal, and the luster, as usual, is glass-like. What is very attractive are the numerous Schorl crystals either within, or penetrating, the Aquamarines. That adds great oddity and unusual contrast to an already very good cabinet specimen.
