Item Description
A very rare, zoned blue-green, aquamarine crystal from the famous pegmatites at Adun-Cholon, Siberia. This gemmy and lustrous beauty is very distinctly color zoned. The termination is slightly complex and a little bit skeletal atop. It is complete all-around, except only for some contacting on one back side, and pristine with no damage per se. This is old-time, rare and very seldom available material from this historic locale! You almost never see this style for sale, and in general just see them in books. Mass is 12 grams. This specimen is a rare gem treasure, valued at $1800-$2000 for color and extreme rarity.
