This classic pegmatite specimen showcases a gem-grade pale blue, transparent aquamarine crystal perched on a matrix of quartz and feldspar, offering a statement-making crystal backdrop that enhances the aquamarine’s natural blue tones. The interplay of textures and mineral forms gives the piece both geological uniqueness and refined beauty.
Aquamarine (Beryl): Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈
Quartz: SiO₂
Feldspar: KAlSi₃O₈ – NaAlSi₃O₈ – CaAl₂Si₂O₈
Quartz and feldspar are hallmark pegmatite minerals, providing the ideal environment for aquamarine crystal growth.
Aquamarine on quartz and feldspar represents a quintessential and highly collectible mineral association. Well-positioned crystals on clean, contrasting matrix are increasingly sought after for both private display and educational collections.
Well-defined, gem-grade aquamarine crystal
Sharply terminated quartz and feldspar matrix
Excellent natural crystal placement
Classic pegmatite mineral specimen
Dimensions: 2.5”x1.75”x2”
Weight: 143g
Classic aquamarine-on-matrix specimens remain consistently in demand. Gem-grade examples with attractive crystal placement and minimal damage tend to retain and steadily increase their value, making this a sound acquisition for long-term collectors.
