Item Description

These unique and distinctive display specimens are some of the most attractive Aquamarine specimens from any locality in the world. The crystals have an unusually tabular habit, which is rarely seen in Aquamarine. The best of these specimens are some of the finest matrix Aquas around. This specimen host a few lustrous, sharp, GEM/gemmy, pale sky blue, tabular crystals of Aquamarine which are associated with beautifully contrasting white crystals of Albite and are sitting atop a bed of silvery-gold bladed Muscovite crystals on matrix. The largest Aquamarine crystal measures 1.8 cm across. The Aqua crystals are good quality, but hard to photograph, so the piece does look a bit better in person. A nice example of his contemporary classic material.
