Aquamarine Crystal on matrix- 182.91 g

This expressive aquamarine step/stage shows a clearly formed, prismatic crystal in delicate ice blue, seated starkly against a light, textured matrix. The crystal facets appear matte to silky, revealing fine internal growth zones that give the aquamarine depth and liveliness. Especially appealing is the interplay between the crystal’s cool transparency and the rough, mineral-tinged matrix, which lends the piece an authentic, primal character.

The crystal edge is well defined, with natural contact points to the matrix, which makes its formation within the rock matrix nicely traceable. Small inclusions and mineral companions emphasize the naturalness of this specimen and make every detail unique. Overall, the piece appears harmoniously balanced and is excellent as a collector's piece or a striking centerpiece in a display cabinet.

Traditionally, aquamarine is subtly attributed a clarifying and calming aura — here, this aspect is deliberately kept in the background, while the clean aesthetics and the mineral's natural presence take center stage.
