This specimen from the REALLY high Alpine mining district in Nepal features an unusual tapered aquamarine crystal like none we have ever seen. The crystal curves gracefully inward like a futuristic tower with a flat observation deck atop. The hexagonal face atop is the same size of the body of the crystal at the bottom, and yet sharp and sitting on the curving column - a dramatic growth effect that we have not seen frequently in aquamarine. From the private beryl collection of Bill Larson, specializing in variety and style.
