Description

A nice blue aquamarine of 4 mm sits on top of this typical Habach valley emerald matrix specimen. The blue is better in nature with a slight touch of green. A few pale green and yellowish 'emerald' beryls add to this fine tiny specimen. While the Habach valley is more famous for emeralds, aquamarine crystals from there are much rarer.
