STUPENDOUS! This gemmy 12.2 cm elongated crystal shoots vertically out of the well-crystallized feldspar matrix and beautifully terminated quartz, like a rocket into the sky! The smaller side crystal has one repair at the bottom, but it has been expertly fixed, displaying an imposing shape, great size, and magnificent quality.

It is entirely different from other aquamarines on the market. The crystal boasts a stunning turquoise-blue color, which varies depending on the light source. The prism faces are highly lustrous, with beautiful grooving that looks gorgeous, as seen in the attached video. It is glassy and transparent, with a delicate “baby” crystal at the top. The matrix consists of well-crystallized Albite, associated with striking smoky quartz at the base.

The visual impact of this piece is breathtaking—it’s hard to fully appreciate its real beauty unless seen and held in person. In person, it is simply unbelievable! The quality speaks for itself, with clarity and luster among the finest we’ve ever seen. It shines like a diamond, making this a truly amazing find.
