Aquamarine (deep color) (ex Rich Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

This Aquamarine specimen was mined by Richard Kosnar in the late 1970's. His diggings produced some of the finest color, unheated Aquamarine in the world. Most of these crystals are not gem quality, but this crystal is certainly GEMMY when backlit, which is very good for the material. This crystal is a fine, sharp, gemmy, somewhat lustrous, slightly hydrothermally etched, rich blue color crystal of Aquamarine from one of the more obscure localities for the material. One simply does not see these beauties offered very often on the market anymore. It is definitely one of the best blue color crystals of this material that I've ever offered for auction, not to mention one of the largest! Don't miss out on this great North American gem crystal classic.
