Goshenite phantom in Aquamarine, Quartz & Muscovite

Item Description

The more you look at it, and turn it around, the more interesting this subtle beryl specimen is. It is an unusual assemblage from Shengus in Pakistan, featuring a single 5 cm, sharply hexagonal beryl crystal rising perfectly from matrix - but with subtle details in that is a pale pastel blue with a stark white phantom inside. When you look closely, from the front or from above, you can see the core of the crystal has a phantom within. That phantom is an aquamarine, culminating in a snow-white cylinder of goshenite beryl perched atop the original aquamarine within, and then surrounded by a later generation of aquamarine. Perfectly windowed at the termination, you can look right down and see the white cap within. It may not be particularly valuable compared to a normal 5 cm aqua on matrix from here, but then everybody has one of those and this is fascinatingly unique. The phantom is really sharp, and you do not see this multicolored beryl effect often. No repairs, complete.
