Item Description
An 3.9 cm, gem aquamarine pencil elegantly rises skyward from a glassy, transparent to translucent, frosted, quartz crystal. The water-clear aqua is pristine and has an interestingly etched termination. An outstanding, nearly pristine, 360-degree specimen with only trivial termination wear to the large quartz. You can see more of the aqua within the quartz crystal with strong light. This is a very fine and aesthetic combination piece is from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this at $1200, five or more years ago. Today it is valued at $1500-2000.
