Item Description
Fine quality Aquamarine specimens never go out of style and are always in demand. This specimen is no exception as it features a group of wonderful gemmy crystals up to 1.2 cm with light blue color and glassy luster. These crystals have a thin layer at the termination where the color is much darker than the rest of the prism. The Aquas sit amongst a group of rather lustrous, beige color, "Carlsbad" twinned Feldspar crystals and minor associated Muscovite. Overall, the quality is excellent, and the crystals are aesthetically flaring out of the top of the specimen. A great miniature sized display specimen with unique crystals.
