A jewel-like aqua prism rises from a matrix of porcelain white albite crystals. This specimen has a presence that sets it well apart from run-of-the-mill aquas. The contrast between the three elements--aquamarine, muscovite, and albite--combine for great visual impact. From a well known locality in the Shigar Valley area.
