A complex jackstraw cluster of glassy and gemmy, richly-colored blue aquas is emplaced on a sliver of white feldspar matrix. The largest crystal, measuring 5 cm across, is doubly-terminated and almost at right angles to the other aquas. As is common with aquas from this deposit, tiny, insignificant wilbers are on some of the terminal edges but do not detract much visually and are hard to spot. Overall this is a very geometric piece, and displays well
