Item Description
This beautiful, water-clear, light powder-blue, aquamarine crystal has striking etching on the upper half of the crystal. The etching gives the termination the appearance of a cobra's head, with the mouth partially open! Aquamarine specimens of any quality are rare from this obscure Pakistan village, but this is a superb and highly unusual example. The crystal is absolutely limpid. Choice material from the Zukowski Collection. 16 grams. Valued at $1200 for unique quality and rarity. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
