Tabular Aquamarine with Muscovite from Pingwu Mine, China

A beautiful aquamarine and muscovite specimen from the famous Pingwu Mine, Mount Xuebaoding, Sichuan Province, China.

This small cabinet specimen features a large tabular aquamarine crystal set into a bright matrix of sharp, silvery-white muscovite crystals. Unlike the more common long prismatic aquamarine habit, this piece shows a flatter tabular form, giving it a distinctive and collectible look.

The pale blue aquamarine has a soft, icy appearance and contrasts beautifully with the sparkling muscovite matrix. A very attractive specimen for collectors of aquamarine, Chinese minerals, beryl, or unusual crystal habits.
