Item Description

Aquamarine crystals from ANY locality (about 10-12) in Grafton County are SUPER RARE and are essentially unavailable. This 4.5 cm, blue-green, aqua crystal in CABINET matrix is from the personal stash of one of the owners of the well-known Palermo # 2 Mine, Robert Whitmore. Nearly half of the textbook, hexagonal crystal is extremely gemmy and lustrous and the mostly buried end is terminated. The other end is contacted. The nearby matrix has a negative impression of where another aqua crystal once was. This is your chance to get an excellent, large and very rarely available aquamarine crystal from this noted locale. Classic, historic material valued at $750. Self collected by the mine owner
