Description

Zoned, intense blue aquamarine crystals looking like a u-shape when viewed from the top due to growth interruption by the albite it grew on. Good transparency and silky lustre due to the striations. Very pleasing specimen with minor muscovite and schorl - flat sawn base but no saw faces visible when displayed, it sits perfectly. I have to set a starting bid as I don't want to give it away but still free shipping as with all items in this auction. Completely damage free.
