Item Description
A beautiful, gem, water-clear, light blue, pencil, aquamarine crystal with an unusual tapered and frosted, pinacoidal termination. The crystal is also very unusually flattened and has a groove on the back. This pristine cutie is strikingly accented with the sharp albite crystal. Excellent material the Shigar Valley of Pakistan. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this fine piece at $350, five or more years ago. Very uncommon in this quality. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
