Item Description
An incredibly complicated and mesmerizingly detailed, etched aquamarine from a famous find of 2005. This is one of the "ice sculptures", or freeform aquamarines, found in several large kaolinite clay pockets. The gemmy, pretty blue-green, hexagonal crystal is doubly terminated. Amazing etching and internal brilliance characterize this find. The covered passage way at the top is striking. 60 grams. Valued at $600
