This aquamarine in matrix is no hand specimen; it wants a shelf of its own.
Natural and unpolished, it weighs over 8 pounds, so it sits heavily and stays where you put it. The back, front, side and top views show the shape all the way around, and the close up shows the aquamarine within the host rock. Put it on a console, a bookcase or a coffee table where people can pick it up and turn it over. Aquamarine is the March birthstone, and a piece this size makes a memorable gift for a collector or a March birthday. This is the exact specimen shown.
Size runs about 7.375 by 6.5 by 4.75 inches, and the weight is over 8 pounds, which is more than 3.6 kilograms.
Aquamarine is greenish blue to blue gem beryl, about 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, and its color comes from iron. It grows mostly in granite pegmatites, coarse rocks rich in quartz, feldspar and mica, and Brazil has led world production of gem aquamarine for more than a century.
Stone Meaning: Aquamarine is traditionally associated with calm and courage.
