Etched Aquamarine - Ankazobe Pegmatite Field, Madagascar
Species: Beryl var. Aquamarine with Mica
Locality: Ankazobe Pegmatite Field, Analamanga Region, Antananarivo Province, Madagascar
Size: 3.4 x 3.2 x 2.8 cm
Weight: 35 g
Notes:
Here we have a truly rare specimen of sea-green aquamarine, featuring tapered off terminations on both ends - more than likely caused by etching. On one half, you can see a remaining flat face more commonly associated with aquamarine. Two of the tips are damaged, but the overall aesthetics and rare form of the piece truly outweigh the small spots of damage. These were from a small find, and I can only find a few other references online!
