description: Glassy mostly transparent and gemmy richly colored blue prismatic terminated aquamarine crystals to 5.0 cm in length are covering nicely matrix with black schorl crystals to 2.3 cm. Light chipping is present along some crystal edges as seen in the photos. Overall I think this is in very good condition. The composition, color and crystal size are all quite good for this locality.
