Item Description
An adorable and aesthetic 360-degree four species miniature combination from famous Mt. Xuebaoding. Three, gemmy, very glassy, typically tabular, light ice-blue aquamarine crystals, to 1.9 cm are accompanied by a dramatic cluster of highly lustrous, twinned jet-black cassiterite crystals, two nicely placed side-by-side sharp, glassy, translucent, off-white albite crystals and scattered clusters of muscovite plates. The isolation of the large aqua next to the cassiterites is remarkable. Every turn presents a striking different aspect to this very fine combination miniature from the Tom Campbell Collection.
