This is a gorgeous, high quality, nearly perfect aquamarine beryl crystal with several black schorl tourmaline crystal inclusions and an abrupt interruption of the aquamarine crystal by another tourmaline. The sides and both tips are all glassy clean, and the interior is quite gemmy in some sections.
1¼ inches long and ¼ inch wide
