Aqua parcel (AQ70):
The photos are of the aqua crystals in this lot. They capture the various colors this lot displays in indoor and natural lighting. In the sunlight they are lighter, brighter and more blue. These crystals are either transparent or translucent – none are opaque.
The colors in the photo are pretty much what you will see… keeping in mind the subtle shifts along the blue-green spectrum as the light changes, and depending which axis is being viewed. Iron (rust colored) inclusions are visible in the photos.

I began selling gems and minerals and studying gemology in the late 1980’s. I traveled around the states with gem/mineral and craft shows for a couple of years before settling in Gainesville, FL where I opened a shop called The White Cloud. In 1992, I got a job counseling, packed all the store stuff away and forgot about it until now. What a surprise to find these beautiful crystals and minerals after all that time…
