About this specimen

Aquamarine Beryl is a member of the beryl family, characterized by its hexagonal crystal system and a chemical formula of Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈. This specimen features a delicate aquamarine crystal cluster exhibiting a soft blue-green hue with translucent to transparent clarity, typical of high-quality aquamarine. The crystals display a vitreous luster and a Mohs hardness of 7.5 to 8, making them relatively durable for mineral specimens and collectors’ displays.

Expertly accented by radiating silvery-white mica sheets of muscovite, this cluster comes from the renowned Xuebaoding Mountain in Sichuan Province, China. Xuebaoding is a notable locality known for producing fine aquamarine specimens alongside other pegmatitic minerals, contributing to the geological significance and provenance of this piece.

The specimen’s harmonious combination of hexagonal aquamarine crystals nestled within flaky mica sheets provides a striking contrast in form and texture, enhancing its visual appeal. Its rarity stems from the coexistence of well-formed aquamarine crystals with muscovite in a single cluster, making it a valued addition to mineral collections focused on beryl species or pegmatite minerals.

For care, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve the aquamarine’s subtle coloration, and handle the specimen gently to prevent damage to the delicate mica sheets. This mineral cluster is an excellent example for collectors seeking specimens with both aesthetic and mineralogical interest.
