Item Description
A classy and classic combination specimen from recent finds at Mt. Xuebaoding. Three, water-clear, gem, pretty light blue, tabular, aquamarine crystals are very aesthetically set on a two-sided plate of pearlescent muscovite blades and snow-white albite crystals. The nifty, near-enechelon aquas reach 2.7 cm, have sharp beveled edges and all three are pristine. A very highly representative example of the species and locale. Valued at $550-750 for quality and aesthetics.
