Description

This is a superfine, gemmy aquamarine accompanied by white feldspar, most probably orthoclase. The aquamarine is very well developed, razor sharp and mirror bright. It is excellent terminated with an additional interesting pattern on the bevelled edges. There is another pattern on the prism faces which looks like crystal faces, maybe rehealed contact. In any case a superb and aesthetic specimen in splendid condition.
