- Lot Description
Southern Africa, Erongo Mountains, Karibib, Erongo Region, Namibia (South America, Cruzeiro Mine, Minas Gerais, Brazil) ca. millions of years old. A pair of exceptional crystals. The first is an icy blue rod-form fragment of aquamarine encrusted at its base and up its side with lustrous black schorl tourmaline and flakes of white and grey orthoclase with russet hued earthen deposits. The translucent yet dense composition of this columnar mineral is indicative of its dense crystalline structure. The second is a fragment of opaque watermelon tourmaline fading between hues of vivid violet, lilac, and olive-grey covered in pearly beige lepidolite. Beautiful examples of jewelry-grade crystals! Aquamarine Size: 1.375" L x 1.375" W (3.5 cm x 3.5 cm); 3" H (7.6 cm) on included custom stand. Tourmaline Size: 2.625" L x 1.875" W (6.7 cm x 4.8 cm); 2.5" H (6.4 cm) on included custom stand.
A beryl mineral, aquamarine has been a cherished stone thought to increase the happiness of married couples through the calming colors and reflective properties. Aquamarine (from the Latin aqua marinus, meaning "water of the sea") is a mineral mainly found in granite quarries that makes for elegant and attractive jewelry.
