Item Description

A stunning and outstanding large combination from this less well-known Pakistan locale. A dramatic, pristine, 7.8 cm, sharply terminated, water-clear to translucent quartz crystal with two attendant smaller crystals aesthetically set amidst rosettes of cream-colored cleavelandite is the focal point of this striking piece. The 3.0 cm, gem, hexgonal, powder-blue aquamarine crystal with frosted faces is a superb accent. Looking down the C-axis is like looking into a water-clear pool. You can see the matrix at the bottom. The quartz crystals and aqua are pristine on this most impresssive and rare large combination from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Fairly valued at $2750-3000.
