Beryl var. Aquamarine (bi-color and unusual habit) (Ref: 8.1-056)
Mt. Xuebaoding, Pingwu Co., Mianyang Pref., Sichuan Province, China
75mm x 50mm
minID: CJE-H7M
I believe that the area near Pingwu, China is one of the greatest mineral localities ever. Some amazing quality minerals are well known but usually not many variations. However, this is not a typical Xuebaoding Aqua! In 2007 I purchased a small lot in China that were unusually elongated beryls that were bi-color (white to blue). I expected there would be many more, but there were not, the habit is very rare and not found since. We originally sold this piece in 2007, I am glad to have it back. It has the largest crystals I have seen from this find (4.8 CM) and it displays super well. No damage at all on the display side, there is matrix contact on the back. The crystals are well-arranged on the minimal matrix which is the usual Albite and Muscovite. Most of the terminations show an unusual hoppering that is also unique to this one find.
