Item Description

A gorgeous, limpid, light blue aquamarine crystal with a fabulous complex termination is aesthetically wrapped in sharp albite crystals and highlighted by RARE clusters of parallel-growth goethite blades. This is a very fine and rare combination from the Shigar Valley. The beautiful aqua is complete all-around and nearly pristine. The termination has two small contacts, with no damage, per se and very trivial bruising. Trivial bruising and contacting on the prism faces in concentrated on the back side of the piece. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and previously in the Dave & Emily Stout Collection. Valued at $900. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
