Aquamarine cluster (Meieran Coll.)

Item Description

Aquamarine from Nagar is THE mainstay go-to aquamarine for what is available on the market. There is literally a tonne of the material on market at any time, we know it and you know it. However, this "V" shaped cluster is special, and has more dramatic color and better geometry than most. It sits flat on its own, without need of help, and is perfectly balanced visually. Each crystal is 4 cm across atop. It has no damage, no dings, no repairs. There is only a very small area of contact where it grew against mica, otherwise all faces are smooth. The crystals are complete 360 degrees around, and have a beautiful strong color and luster to them (at the high end of the color range for a Nagar aquamarine). The central accent of vertical muscovites at the base, just really makes the piece. It gives a little bit of matrix without overpowering the V shaped geometry. A superb aquamarine for the size range amongst so many that are just too big, this fits nicely in most displays and does not break the bank. From the important beryl collections of Gene Meieran. Valued $5000-6000.
