A glassy and gemmy, sky-blue, aquamarine crystal, measuring 5.4 cm in length, is partially covered by lustrous rosettes of bladed ,white cleavelandite blades. There is even a mica crystal attached to the aqua as a bonus accent, and a contrast of geometry that stands out nicely. While we see many aquamarines in this size and price range, this is just particularly cute! The cleavelandite blades wrap the crystal in a hug, as if they are a blanket. There is not a better word than "cute" to describe the visual effect.
