DESCRIPTION

The specimen is developed as floater - even the bottom of the Aquamarine is terminated. The Aquamarine is the „matrix“ for a milky, sharp terminated free-standing apatite and a group of two modified Spessartine crystals. I used minor backlight for the photos to show the intense internal color of the Spessartine crystals, they are sharp terminated and consist of uncountable tiny steps - all of them razor sharp and all highly lustrous and with amazing texture. The Apatite is on satiny luster, only the edges are highly lustrous. The Aquamarine is water-clear and gemmy, it is also sharp terminated and on finest luster. There is not even a minor damage - it is pure perfection and although it is small one of the most aesthetic and most impressive specimen I had ever seen from the locality. The assemble is really incredible and also the combination is very special and unique
