Description

A textbook aquamarine crystal perched on top of aplitic matrix beautifully contrasts with the surrounding quartz, mica and feldspar. 

The matrix speck where the beryl lays had 'jumped off' the matrix during trimming, therefore is appears to be repaired (not by me). This is how I obtained it 15 years ago, no further operations by me.

Quite charming.
