Description

Granite pegmatite matrix with a large example of a blue/green partial aquamarine crystal. The pematite matrix is exceptionally hard and this combined with the tendency of the crystals to break along transverse fracture lines means that extracting the crystals is exceptionally difficult. However aquamarine crystals from Ireland, especially of this size, are very rare indeed.
