Etched Beryl var. Aquamarine, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 148ct

Etched Beryl var. Aquamarine from Minas Gerais, Brazil. This gorgeous natural etched Aquamarine crystal is a pastel glacier blue color, with exceptional gemmy clarity. It's a very textural piece, with bright luster and unique form. The Aquamarine crystalline structure is well-preserved with a visible termination. This floater crystal is complete, with 360 degrees of stunning icy etched surfaces. Excellent condition, with no noticeable nicks.

This piece is a rare find from an old collection, originally purchased in the 1990s. It was rediscovered when a storage unit containing display cases and a few dusty old mineral flats was purchased from a mineral dealer in Tucson, Arizona. One of the mineral flats was etched Beryl and we were able to purchase the flat. Most of the pieces are Aquamarine, with a few Heliodor, this is one of the best etched Aquamarine crystals in the flat.
