Item Description
These specimens are some of the most unique and attractive Aquas from any locality. Tjhey have become some of the most distinctive and easily recognizable Aquas on the planet. Tabular Aquamarine crystals are rare, but some of the Aquas from Xuebaoding are absolutely superb quality to boot! This particular piece features a few very sharp, highly lustrous, GEM/gemmy, light blue, unusually tabular hexagonal crystals of Aquamarine measuring up to 1.3 cm across sitting atop a crystallized matrix of compressed, bladed, silvery Muscovite crystals. The quality is very good and the main Aquamarine crystal is very gemmy, when so many from this locality are essentially opaque. A great quality specimen from this unique locality. Valued at $400.
