Item Description
A showy, highly unusual aquamarine crystal from Shengus and the Robert Whitmore Collection. The water-clear, light blue aqua has textbook crystal form with striking and pretty etched/frosted prism faces. The complex pinacoidal termination has preferentially etched faces, BUT, the pinacoid is glassy and you can see right down the C-axis to the base, like a TV picture! Complete all-around and pristine and collected in 1988, according to the Whitmore label. 13 grams. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
