A complete-all-around, 360-degree duet of perfect gem crystals! Most of the specimen is so transparent you can read through it. In fact, it is MUCH MORE GLASSY and MUCH MORE BRIGHT, in person, than the pics make it out to be. They are a pale image of this extremely bright and flashy specimen, but its so gemmy that the camera has a hard time, given the size and thickness, capturing focus on the surfaces as it keeps traying to focus on the middle of the piece. I have seen very FEW LARGE SHIGAR AQUAS of this magnitude, that are free of damage and so complete. No repairs, no restoration, just naturally perfect...it is an extremely rare event in nature and, given all that is going on over there, getting harder to find such beasts. I will say up front I think this is a slam dunk bargain for somebody who wants a large gem aqua of this caliber. I have seen a lot less, for a lot more money, at just the recent show. I picked this up from somebody who travelled over there personally and had the good fortune to amortize this in a large deal, plus to buy it before it was fully cleaned. I am simply passing the deal on...
