Item Description

A very rarely seen Aquamarine specimen on cream-colored Microcline matrix. Several small (up to 2 mm) nice blue color prisms of Aquamarine can be seen all over the specimen. The piece was collected by Rich Kosnar in the late 1970s, and is one of the only pieces on matrix that I've ever had to offer from Idaho. If you collect North American gem minerals, or even Beryl specimens from the United States, or even more specifically minerals from Idaho, don't miss out on this one! Enjoy.
