Item Description

An impressive large single aquamarine crystal, that we recently received from a small NEW FIND in the Erongos. This is the second largest single crystal in the lot. The beautiful crystal is partially doubly terminated and is pristine. The very glassy crystal has rich blue color, a fine gemmy 1.4 cm termination area and a typically translucent body. The broad primary termination has extreme glassiness and classic hexagonal form. The stepped-growth side car terminations, textbook sharp feldspar crystals and feldspar and schorl sections add pizzazz to this superb 360-degree aqua. DIRECT from the miners, as the iron oxides have not been cooked off of the piece. Here's your chance to get an outstanding large sculptural single crystal example from a NEW FIND! No new significant material has come out in at least 5 years. Fairly valued at $1750-2000. The second largest major single crystal specimen we obtained from the find.
