A beautiful, very gemmy, pastel blue aquamarine crystal from an unusual locality. This piece is the biggest I have gotten from the owner over the years, as he made several trips for them. It is elongated and well terminated, with just a start of etching at the termination. Dave Stoudt obtained these while working as a geologist in Argentina in the early 2000's. 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. 29 grams. Joe Budd photos.
