Aquamarine (deep color) (ex Rich Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

This Aquamarine specimen was mined by Richard Kosnar in the late 1970's and 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 very gemmy, and certainly better than the majority of them that I have seen - about 90% gem quality. This crystal is an attractive, doubly-terminated (crudely), gemmy, 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 better blue color crystals of this material that I've offered for auction. Don't miss out on this great North American gem crystal classic.
