AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An exceptional thumbnail specimen showcasing a tall, slender aquamarine crystal perfectly positioned in a contrasting matrix of sharp, blocky white albite. The aquamarine is highly gemmy and displays beautiful color zoning: a pale blue-green body transitioning to a saturated, intense teal-blue termination.

The albite matrix is dusted with olive-green muscovite/chlorite, creating a camouflage-like pattern that makes the aquamarine stand out dramatically. Small black schorl tourmaline inclusions are visible near the base of the aquamarine, adding character.

Note.
All the above photos are taken in natural light in which the crystal appears slightly colorful.
