Item Description
A water-clear, sharp aquamarine crystal with very well defined faces and edges, and with an excellent modified pinacoidal termination. It has high glassy luster and pretty blue color. The pearlescent muscovite blades on one side are a nice accent, but this cutie is really enhanced by the two projecting sidecar crystals, that look like ears. Contacting is noted on the sides and back, but really has very little impact on the fine visual quality of this showy and excellent gem crystal. A classic Shigar aqua. Valued at $300-400.
