HCU04 Bery var. Aquamarine on Muscovite
Huya Village, Mt. Xuebaoding, Sichuan Prov., China
7.2x 5.5x 3.2 cm
$395

A pretty and well-balanced example of aquamarine crystals on a muscovite matrix, showing the typical, flattened form that this locality is known for.  These are excellent luster, and have a good balance between transparency and color-- usually they are more foggy inside, or you have to imagine the color-- while by no means the bluest, I'd day these are quite good for the size/ location.
