Aquamarine x ( Beryl )

After lengthy negotiations we were able to acquire a large batch of aquamarine crystals in rose quartz (plus a few individual crystals), a new find from the pegmatite fields in the north of Antananarivo. The crystals are all somewhat transparent, green-blue in color and all have very excellent facets. Back in Germany, they still have to be cleaned, especially the limonite coating on some crystals. This is not possible here in Madagascar
