This is a short, stout, glassy and gemmy, rich blue aqua measuring 2.4 cm in length. Small, splendent, black schorl crystals to .5 cm are at the base of the aqua. Smaller aquas are also on the side of the main crystal; and one face has glassy and gemmy secondary, colorless beryls upon it. Very good termination. Very impressive visually, with just one (smallest) broken termination amidst the 3 intergrown crystals here.
