The specimen is composed of a dense arrangement of pale blue green aquamarine crystals radiating outward in several directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aquamarine is beautifully developed for such a compact specimen, with long prismatic crystals, strong longitudinal striations and numerous well formed hexagonal terminations. Rather than presenting as a simple parallel cluster, the crystals intersect and project at opposing angles, giving the specimen considerable depth and a strong architectural form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall black schorl crystals occur throughout the aquamarine, becoming especially concentrated around several of the lower terminations. Their dark colour provides a sharp contrast against the very pale aquamarine and makes the mineral association immediately apparent under close inspection. Small areas of warm iron staining add further detail without overwhelming the delicate colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt only 33mm across, this is a rather complex specimen. The radiating habit allows it to be viewed successfully from almost every direction, with entirely different arrangements of aquamarine possible through experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Liminal Stone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52803157590148,"sku":"I-12","price":240.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/1815\/4628\/files\/B9AAA2C5-A59C-4EEB-AB66-0D202A7BD397.jpg?v=1789177234","url":"https:\/\/www.theliminalstone.com\/products\/quartz-with-schorl-erongo-namibia","provider":"The Liminal Stone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
