Item Description
These specimens are some of the most unique and attractive Aquas from any locality. Tjhey have become some of the most distinctive and easily recognizable Aquas on the planet. Tabular Aquamarine crystals are rare, but some of the Aquas from Xuebaoding are absolutely superb quality to boot! This particular piece features sharp, lustrous, GEM/gemmy light blue, unusually tabular crystals of Aquamarine measuring up to 2.0 cm across associated with snow white blocky Microcline crystals sitting atop a crystallized matrix of compressed, bladed, silvery Muscovite. The quality is very good and the piece was hard to photograph, but it's very interesting in person. A good quality specimen from this unique locality.
