A highly unusual piece, the only one of this crystal habit we saw in the pocket contents, with a dramatic tapering termination. Like others here, it has a small aquamarine zone of pale colorless-slight blue atop, but it is harder to see here because the tip narrows. This crystal is complete all around, has great golden-yellow color, and is very gemmy
