Etched Beryl var. Aquamarine from Minas Gerais, Brazil. This gorgeous natural etched Aquamarine crystal is a pastel glacier blue color and has exceptional gemmy clarity. It's a very textural piece, with bright luster and unique form, it features three holes in the crystal that occurred naturally during the dissolution process. 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.
