Item Description

A gorgeous crystal "spray" of sharp, lustrous, gemmy, glassy, hexagonal prisms of Aquamarine ranging from a saturated blue color at the base, to nearly colorless on the terminations, associated with minor black Schorl and Quartz from the famous Shigar Valley in Pakistan. The vast majority of the crystals are in excellent condition, though a few on the back are contacted, but you can't see them when the piece is displayed. A very aesthetic and showy specimen of these now classic Aquamarines.
From the collection of Bill ("Burma Bill") Larson of Fallbrook, California. Bill is a well-known gem and mineral dealer (Pala International) as well as a miner and collector. Bill traveled the world for decades in search of fine gems and minerals, and was directly involved in the in-person acquisition and importation of superb specimens from many important gem-producing localities.
