An unusual specimen even amongst so many we have seen from this region in the last 20 years or so. This piece is complete all around, and has really nice, castle-like, sculptural aesthetics. The color on this one is unusual, being a more robust blue than is typical for these aqua/muscovite combination pieces! It has almost a surface sheen to it. This is a bonus...and makes it stand out to my eye among a crowd of other sharp hexagonal aquamarine crystals as a more unique specimen. It was last in the well-known collection of Dr Ed David, White House Science Advisor to our President Nixon. I bought it from him. Joe Budd photos.
