Exceptional combination of Aquamarine with a large reddish-pink Fluorite on Muscovite!
I almost never see quality Aqua-Fluorites from Pakistan on the market anymore. The really
good Fluorites came out years ago and have long since disappeared into private collections.
I was thrilled to see this piece at the Show and the combination of Aquamarine and Fluorite,
both exhibiting strong color, is rare. The Fluorites measures right at 3.3 cm in size and has
a rich color to go along with the typical irregular and modified surfaces. It sits atop the right
side, separated by and equally well colored Aquaamrine crystal by an Aquamarine covered
ridge of Muscovite. The Aquamarine is rehealed along the bottom and the piece is pristine.

Incredible prehistoric Megalodon Shark Tooth!
This is an amazing Megalodon tooth from the Lee Creek Mine in North Carolina which has been closed to collecting.
Even when it was open, complete Megalodon teeth in good condition like this one were very rare finds. This 12.7 cm
sized specimen is gorgeous and glossy with a greenish enamel coloration and sharply detailed serrations along the edges.
Megalodon was the biggest and baddest prehistoric shark that ever lived. It was the largest marine predator in the history
of the planet. It terrorized the oceans around the world from 15.9 to 2.6 million years ago (late Oligocene to early Pleistocene).
This extinct species of shark was estimated to grow to 60 feet and has often been declared the greatest vertebrate predator ever.
