Guaratinga (Jaquetô), Bahia, Northeast Region, Brazil

Totally transparent Aquamarine crystal. Pale green in colour with fine etching all over the crystal faces, the elongate tapering terminations make this is an unusual Aquamarine crystal. The termination are part of the original forming process while the etching is the result of the crystal coming into contact with a solution lacking the elements of the Aquamarine. Interesting display specimen.
