Item Description
This museum-sized display plate of shimmering muscovite hosts a crystal each of bright blue aquamarine, and pink-colored apatite nestled within the blades of muscovite. The aquamarine is standing proud and is very in your face for those sharp, chiselled terminations (3 cm across). While neither is of important size in some ways, the combination as a whole is super attractive. The aquamarine is 4 cm and the apatite just under 2 cm. They poke up dramatically in a contrast in geometries. It looks like 2 crystal treasures sitting in a seafloor landscape! Large display pieces like this, of any quality, probably cost more to buy in Pakistan these days, than they do here - due to rising demand for big showy pieces from both the Chinese and decor markets. No repairs, no damage.
