Item Description
Mineral specimens of ANYspecies are RARE from this obscure Larimer County, Colorado pegmatite and this an outstanding matrix example! An impressive, sharp, 9.2 cm aquamarine crystal is dramatically exposed in the massive quartz matrix. The terminated, translucent crystal has nice blue-green color, luster and is slightly bent with most striking extensive breakage and subsequent healing. For what it is, this is a rare, superb and aesthetic large aquamarine combination from this locale. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and formerly in the Dr. L.D. Dickey Collection, according to Bob's label. A MUST for the Colorado or species collector! Value?? We believe in the $1500-2000 range is fair.
