Aquamarine with Quartz and Muscovite (rare find)

Item Description

A very unusual city-like cluster of translucent, rich sea-green, elongated, tapering aquamarines, from a new locale. This was picked up by Dr. Emanuele Marini on site, in his travels there. I have not seen others, and he told me the find was quite small. It is slightly etched and is frosted on the surface. They are quite unique. The piece is complete-all-around floater and is very nearly pristine, except a small bit of basal periphery wear on the back It sits nicely on its own. A small quartz crystal sits atop and pearlescent muscovite plates are scattered about. Valued at $400-500
