Description

The assemble is breathtaking, the crystal is absolutely freestanding and exposed. It´s termination is sharp and it shows fine clarity and a touch of light aquamarine-blue. Also the muscovite is very glossy, the color of it is brownish. The aquamarine is sharp and glossy also on the sides, only backside is contacted - not damaged, I guess it has no room to grow, so backside is not sharp, but it shows crystalisation. No significant damages to report.
