sea-blue to blue-green beryl; forms in pegmatites and alpine veins; prized for color, clarity, and dramatic matrix specimens.

Aquamarine

Aquamarine from Erongo Mountains, Namibia

from the Erongo Mountains has a look that collectors recognize immediately: cool blue to blue-green beryl, often standing in crisp hexagonal prisms from a jet-black nest of schorl tourmaline, with white feldspar or microcline providing the third color in the composition. The best pieces are not merely loose gem crystals; they are complete pegmatite mini-landscapes, built in miarolitic cavities where beryl, tourmaline, feldspar, quartz, fluorite, topaz, hyalite opal, and other late-stage minerals crystallized into open space.
