Beryl var: Aquamarine with interesting "helix"-like inclusions

Item Description

This is a beautiful and classic example of the famous Aquamarines from the Shigar Valley. This fine crystal is notably sharp, lustrous and well-formed, showing textbook prismatic hexagonal growth and wonderful internal gemminess. At the base of the crystal, minor black Schorl crystals can be seen, but the highlight of the piece is that it features interesting "wispy" inclusions which criss-cross one anther forming a "helix"-esque style growth (similar to a DNA helix). We've done our best to illustrate the inclusions, but I will say that they look even better in person. If you love gem crystals, Aquamarines, "inclusion" crystals, or you're just a fan of interesting and unique specimens, don't miss out. Valued $1,500.
