Item Description
Here we have an attractive very gemmy, light greenish color, prismatic, slightly etched crystal of Aquamarine with a good termination. The piece was mined about 40 years ago (circa 1976), and comes from the collection of Richard Kosnar, who had a strong presence in Brazil bringing back a large quantity of pegmatite minerals in the 1970s. The crystal would make a great addition to any gem crystal suite, especially since gem Aquas from Brazil are truly difficult to find on the market these days.
