Marvelous 2.3 cm Aquamarine crystal sitting in a bed of Feldspar along with a light Smoky Quartz crystal. The Aquamarine, in its own way, is spectacular. The luster is excellent, the termination gemmy and near-perfect, but what really makes this crystal is the unusually-deep blue color of the Aqua.
