Item Description
Aquamarine crystal sprays of this quality are rare from the pegmatites of Pakistan. A beautiful diverging spray of gem, light blue aquas is aesthetically set on the front of sculptural, knobby, albite crystal matrix. Uncommonly pristine. The parallel-growth crystal cluster on the back of the spray has contacted terminations, but has no damage, per se. This is a very fine, displayable, 360-degree piece. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued by Herb at $1200, five or more years ago. Value today is $1500-2000.
