| Hi, i guess that these Auqas look very good - but could you please post bigger photos? It has not to be in high resolution, but something like 600 x 400 would be good ...

Someone told me of nepalese aqua,and it seems that the blue color is terrific.
I have seen killer blue kyanite too,but only cut or faceted stones,not rough crystal...

The last 10-15 years some extraordinary aquamarines have come from Nepal.
At the Munich show many years ago (90s) there was a very fine gemmy 30 cm crystal, and during the last few years there has been some 5-15 cm crystals, some of them of a very rich blue color.
