Beryl var. Aquamarine with Albite and Muscovite

Unknown Owner

A showstopper specimen of blue Aquamarine with striation on the prismatic faces and a multitude of parallel position crystals combined with white Albite and a silvery Muscovite. There is a distinct difference in clarity between the prismatic faces and the terminations where there are some horizontal bands present of a lighter colour. Some small areas of a slightly darker blue present on some of the smaller terminations that might indicate a different chemical phase of deposition. This specimen comes with a custom-made base. A very fine Aquamarine specimen measuring to over 13 cm in height, from the Shigar Valley, Pakistan.
