Northern Vietnam’s Thanh Hoa Province has been producing superb, saturated sky-blue aquamarine beryl crystals for several decades now, though it appears these amazing gem pegmatites may be near exhaustion at this point. This is a choice large, deep blue, well-terminated aquamarine crystal from older finds, with good form, color and clarity. A wonderful aquamarine crystal from an important new discovery.
