Etched Beryl var. Aquamarine from Minas Gerais, Brazil. This gorgeous natural etched Beryl crystal is translucent with a hint of soft pastel aquamarine color. It's a very textural piece, with bright gemmy luster and unique form. This Beryl 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 Beryl crystals in the flat.
