This Beryl var Aquamarine specimen was mined from Arkaroola, Flinders Ranges in South Australia and was originally part of the G & J Akkerman Collection.

Although not the finest specimen of Beryl, I wanted to add this specimen to the collection to show the different variety compared to the commonly seen crystal varieties. There is another specimen of aquamarine in the collection, however, I am interested in adding a museum-quality crystal variety of Beryl to the collection soon.

I acquired this specimen from Peter at Crystal Habit (now Kristallen) at the August 2016 Carlingford Show.
