Description

Classic combination of aquamarine and mica from this famous region for the material.  The largest aquamarine is a full 3cm wide, and well terminated with just some very minor wear to the edge.  There are numerous other smaller aquamarine crystals all around, one of which has broken off near the base, but this does not detract too much from this fairly large specimen.

Ex. Donald Stockton (1929 - 2016) Collection, with his old label.
