A complete-all-around, duet of perfect, gem, statuesque Aquamarine crystals from Burma with a beautiful termination! The crystals are in near perfect parallel growth with one slightly taller than the other. They are both turbid with a pleasing sky-blue and whitish blue mottling internally at the base that becomes much gemmier at the mid-section that exhibits a beautiful sky-blue color for over an inch and then abruptly transitions into a lighter and very gemmy light sky blue color. The Aquas are very glassy and they do show some edge rubbing locally along their length and at the termination. There is a stub of an Aquamarine near the base (which is also terminated on bottom) and a little piece of Schorl at the top. This duo has a mass of 51.27 grams.
