Item Description
A glorious, limpid, rich blue gem aquamarine crystal with a highly unusual modified pinacoid termination from Pech. This beautiful, textbook, hexagonal crystal has striking modified termination faces, that are etched and frosted. Very strange pocket chemistry here! Complete all-around and pristine. One side at the base is contacted, but there is no damage, per se. Aquas of this exceptional gemminess are RARE from here, as Pech is famous for beautiful tourmalines, morganites and spodumenes. 30 grams mass. Ex Uwe Strauss Collection. Value??
