Description from the seller
From the heart of the Vale do Rio Doce in Minas Gerais, this beryl presents itself not only as a crystal, but as a testament to the thermal dynamics in Brazilian pegmatites. What at first sight seems like an irregular relief is, in reality, a fascinating texture of late hydrothermal dissolution. The aggressive fluids, at the end of the formation process, carved the crystal creating an architecture of natural engravings highly valued in contemporary collecting.
Highlights:
Pure Geometry: The crystal retains a rounded prismatic habit, crowned by a perfect basal pinacoid. This flat and unobstructed termination acts as a mirror of light that contrasts with the complexity of the lateral faces.
• Transparency and Light: The absence of pyramidal faces allows a direct observation of its internal clarity, where light plays with the growth marks and the zones of reabsorption.
• Origin of Prestige: Originating from a classic locality like Conselheiro Pena adds intrinsic investment value to the piece.
It is a floating crystal in perfect condition, with no damage or chips. A mineral gem that balances organic aesthetics with technical sobriety.
