Description

A really crazy specimen! It is an entire cleft of aquamarine. Bottom and top are covered with muscovite. Between all developed with uncountable lustrouse crystals in nice colour. Some second generation at the top. I show the specimen in variouse positions to give you an idea how it looks in person, but still much more impressive when you hold in your hands. Minor schorl is also present at the inside of the specimen. No significent damages to report.
