Item Description

This piece is a sharp, highly lustrous, gemmy/translucent, beautiful icy blue color hexagonal prism associated with white Albite. The crystal is contacted on the base/bottom, but the back of the termination has an indentation with incomplete/interrupted growth where it grew against the pocket wall, but it's not broken, and actually crystallized if you look closely. A lovely example of these wonderful classic Aquas from this world-renowned area that has produced some of the finest examples of the blue variety of Beryl ever found.
