Item Description

A dramatic and very fine large gem aquamarine combination specimen the Shigar Valley. An 8.3 cm, gem, light ice-blue, aquamarine crystal is strikingly capped with a shapely plume of white cleavlandite and a quartz crystal fragment. The gorgeous, water-clear, textbook hexagonal aqua is complete all-around and pristine. The back is contacted, but there is no damage, per se.
