Aquamarine xls on DT Smoky Quartz w/ Schorl (Rare combo)

Item Description

An extremely rare and very fine combination specimen from recent finds at this less well-known Vietnamese locale. The two, 3.8 cm, gemmy, rich blue aquamarine crystals are dramatically perched on the side of a rare for the locale, doubly terminated, glassy, translucent, tapered smoky quartz crystal. Two prism faces of the smoky have tan coating of clay or feldspar and five of six prism faces of the smoky have, rare for the locale, embedded or included schorl needles. The smoky is pristine, with the fat termination being partially contacted, but with no damage, per se. The aquas are pristine, except for the broken bases. An exceptionally fine, very aesthetic and rare combination from this locale with multiple display views. Valued at $1500-1750.
