Item Description
A gorgeous, impressive, 5.0 x 3.2 x 3.2 cm, beautiful blue, gemmy and lustrous, aquamarine crystal is very aesthetically set on a plate of blocky albite crystals and pearlescent, silvery, muscovite books. This very fine gem crystal is nearly pristine, with only a trivial bit of termination edge wear. An outstanding, 360-degree Shigar combination specimen with very artistic composition. The position of the aqua, large blocky, angled albite and dispersion of the muscovites really add up to a fine piece. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this piece at $2200, five or more years ago. It is worth surely $3000 today. A striking Tucson Show spiker, that would look good any collection.
