Item Description

Choice single, doubly-terminated crystal of gemmy, lustrous Aquamarine, associated with a small amount of Orthoclase. The Aqua grades from a deeper blue near the base to a lighter blue at the top, but most of the crystal itself is gemmy, and zoned. Minor contacting on the edge of the lower termination, and one small ding near the top. The terminations are super lustrous. An aesthetic piece. The Aqua itself is about 12 g in mass. SUPERB QUALITY makes this a competition level miniature from here!
