Item Description
Very attractive, well-balanced specimen that highlights an excellent 4 cm Aqua that stands tall above the Schorl and Orthoclase. As you would want, the Aqua has good color, great luster, and a fine mirror-like termination (with only very minute edgewear). The base of the two Aquas (there is a smaller, beautiful Aqua that crosses the main crystal) is surrounded by lustrous 1 cm Schorls, all on a base of Orthoclase. A well-balanced, aesthetic piece - and a competition level miniature valued at $750
