Item Description
A beautiful, blue-green aquamarine crystal dusted with muscovite blades from the famous Teofilo Otoni area. Specimens like this came out in the 1960s or early 1970s, with none since. The veils in this gemmy and lustrous crystal add pazzazz. The termination of this textbook, hexagonal crystal is particularly glassy. Essentially pristine, with only the most trivial of termination edge wear. Ex Ed Bancroft Collection. 90 grams. Rarely on the market today in this quality. Valued at $1000-1250. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
