Item Description

A impressive complex jackstraw cluster of gem aquamarine crystals strikingly accented with schorl needles. The glassy aquas are transparent to translucent and have rich blue to light blue color. The two large aquas are 7.5 and 6.5 cm, doubly terminated and both are pristine. The dense schorl coverage features included, embedded and coating needles to 3.4 cm. The large aqua terminations have striking crevasses, where the aquas grew around the schorls! This surreal and aesthetic combination is essentially pristine and has multiple display possibilities. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this at $3200, more than ten years ago.
