Etched Beryl var. Aquamarine from Minas Gerais, Brazil. This gorgeous natural etched Beryl crystal is a light pastel aquamarine color, it's a very textural piece with gemmy clarity, and luster. This Beryl floater crystal is complete, with 360 degrees of stunning icy etched surfaces. It has a unique form and features holes that naturally occurred during the dissolution process. Excellent condition, 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.
