Description

Here's a very fine and interesting combo of 2 minerals. First there's a stunning transparent aquamarine-twin with great luster and clearity. The aquamrine is 10,5 cm long! It is developed as a floater with termination on both ends. The clearity is amazing, most of the crystal is gem-quality. Looking at the top you can see the twinned structure.Near the base there's a 1,5 cm long apatite attached to aqua. This combination is rare, not many fine specimens have been found. This is a very well balanced piece without damage.
