Aquamarine on Albite

Item Description

This is a superb small cab sized specimen with a sharp, water-clear, aqua-blue crystal of aquamarine perched totally vertical and emerging from a mass of crystallized albite matrix. The aqua is itself 4 cm tall. It is complete, and terminated, though has a weird growth asymmetry/indentation atop which accents the normally flat and typical termination. This crystal has a micro-thin layer of secondary aquamarine crystallization over the surface of the crystal, giving it, in person, a slightly frosted and sugary appearance which is unusual. Valued $1200-1500
