Aquamarine w/ Topaz, Hydroxylherderite & Tantalite-(Mn) (RARE combo) ex Obodda

Item Description

A RARE and very showy combination from this less well-known Pakistan locale and the Herb Obodda dealer stock. A beautiful, 3.4 cm, gem, light blue aquamarine dominates this aesthetic piece. The aqua has highly unusual etched prism faces corners lending a striking aspect to the crystal. The bladed albite matrix hosts: 1.7 cm, terminated, gemmy topaz on one end; a partially coated, 2.0 cm, lustrous, striated, tabular, tantalite-(Mn) crystal with a broken termination; and two, gem, straw-yellow, hydroxylherderite prisms next to the aqua. One crystal is pristine and one cleaved. There are also a few quartz points peering through the albite. The aqua has one very clean repair at the albites. This is an extremely rare and desirable combo from this locale. Value??
