All auctions / Ethnographical / Beryl Crystal Sphere – Aquamarine - Fashinating...


Fascinating Transparence — pale blue, milky tone, light as a veil of water suspended in the light. This sphere was carved from an aquamarine beryl crystal originating from the mountainous regions of Pakistan, an area known for the quality of its crystals. The handcrafted work has preserved its natural soul: internal veils, typical inclusions that tell the story of the slow cooling of mineral fluids in granitic cavities. The smooth surface allows light to penetrate and gently diffuse, evoking the very character of aquamarine: clarity, calm, depth. A discreet and refined presence, to be observed and touched to grasp its internal structure and the color nuances. Aquamarine, a member of the beryl family, crystallizes in the hexagonal system and owes its coloration to iron ions trapped within the crystal structure during formation. The mountains of Pakistan, rich in alpine pegmatites, are one of the few places in the world where nature, pressure, and time cooperate to create specimens of this level.
