This specimen consists of a snow white, lustrous, bladed albite matrix that hosts two very gemmy xls. One is a fully terminated, faintly golden topaz xl measuring 2.0x0.7cm. Butting up against one of its terminations is a water clear, perfectly terminated aquamarine xl (approx 1.3x1.2cm). It appears to be perfectly clear with no inclusions. Wow! No damage to this world class specimen except what might be considered a contact point on the back side of the albite. It is MUCH better in person, as my photos don't do it justice. Enjoy!
