A beautiful, very gemmy, doubly-terminated, pastel blue aquamarine crystal from an unusual locality. A floater, it is complete all around! Dave Stoudt obtained these while working as a geologist in Argentina in the early 2000's. This pinched, bullet-shaped piece is super gemmy and looks like a Jacqueto aqua from Brazil. Other than a very few specimens elsewhere, I have not seen any reach our markets for specimens. And the pieces brought out here, are some of the very best that were obtained by him at the time. 13 grams. Joe Budd photos.
