Item Description
A dramatically aesthetic and outstanding large aquamarine combination from the Haramosh Mountains and the Herb Obodda dealer stock. A fabulous, 5.2 cm, well-centered pair of very sculptural parallel-growth, water-clear, gem, light blue aquas is accompanied by an impressive, sharply terminated, water-clear quartz crystal with mostly frosted faces. The smaller aqua has a fantastic sloping termination and has partially surrounded the larger crystal, adding an amazing artistic quality to the piece. The aqua and quartz are pristine and rest on massive albite matrix. The one glass-clear face of the quartz in front shows the limpid interior. This is a superlative 360-degree combination. Valued by Herb at $3000 more than 6 years ago. Today's fair value is $3750-4250.
