Description

This is very uncommon - of course we all know aquamarine from the locality very well - but a yellow-greenish heliodore from Shigar is really exceptional. The faces are glossy, on one side it shows a very attractive texture and it is developed as floater - bottom and top are end-pointed. No significant damages to report.
