Aquamarine (ex Gary Weaver Collection)

Item Description

A classic old time Aquamarine crystal from Mt Antero with rich saturated blue color in areas. The piece is not terminated, so it's more of a reference specimen, but I love the intensity of the blue color, as the majority of the crystals from this locality are much more pale. Certain areas of the crystal are almost white ("Goshenite"), making this more of a bi-colored crystal than a simple Aquamarine. From the collection of Gary Weaver of Prescott, Arizona (1944-2019). Gary was an electrical engineer who worked for many years for Hughes Aircraft in California. You can read Gary's obituary here https://www.dcourier.com/news/2019/apr/27/obituary-gary-richard-weaver/
