Item Description

A classic etched prismatic crystal of soft blue Aquamarine from Minas Gerais with good internal gemminess, and elegant surface etching that runs lengthwise along the prism faces. The classic tapered "pencil" termination is indicative of the Medina Pegmatite, but it's hard to say specifically if that's where the piece was found. It appears that the bottom of the crystal has a basal termination, so I'm calling this one a complete "floater". Beautiful classic material from Brazil. Specimen weight is 10.6 grams. Valued $1,500.
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.
