About this specimen

Xuebaoding, Sichuan, aquamarine with mica and feldspar at 11.9 cm and over 500 g per the supplier; a cabinet piece that stands unsupported.

Glassy hexagonal prisms and a sea-blue tone define the aquamarine variety.

Mica forms pearly hexagonal books that catch the light between the other crystals. Feldspar is the matrix of choice in Chinese pegmatite specimens: blocky cream to pale-orange crystals that set off the garnet, quartz and tourmaline growing on them.

Xuebaoding in Pingwu County is the classic Chinese source of scheelite, aquamarine and cassiterite on muscovite, mined from high-altitude greisen veins.

The piece is cabinet in size, 11.9 × 7.9 × 8.9 cm (4.69 × 3.11 × 3.50 in) and 500 g (17.6 oz). The specimen is otherwise sold in the condition shown.

Every specimen here is photographed and catalogued individually before listing.
