A unique and amazing specimen, featuring a BIG, complete and terminated smoky quartz crystal enclosing a gemmy aquamarine crystal! The aquamarine measures 4.5 cm, is DOUBLY-TERMINATED and is a fine gem crystal in and of itself. But of course, what makes it special is that this huge, fine and gemmy smoky crystal grew right around it like a tree growing around a fence post.
