Beryl var. Aquamarine, on Muscovite

Item Description

This pegmatite district high in the Himalayas is justly famous for outstanding Aquamarine specimens. Here we have a gemmy, lustrous, well-terminated Aquamarine crystal that is a full 3 cm tall and 1.4 cm thick. This light blue Aqua happens to sit on a small cluster of gemmy Aquas that jut out 90 degrees to the main crystal, and all sit on a bed of sharp Muscovite blades. The association is classic for Nagar, and the aesthetics really are quite good. For somebody who wants a quality, impressive Aqua, on matrix, from a well-known locality and does not want to break the bank, this could be the piece.
