An attractive loose double terminated glassy and gemmy light blue crystal of beryl. This is the variety known as aquamarine. Complete all around and in perfect condition. Minor muscovite is present on the backside of the crystal.

The municipality of Medina, located in the Minas Gerais state of Brazil, is part of a prominent regional landscape characterized by a long history of agricultural settlement, rural development, and localized artisanal prospecting. Geologically, the area is situated within the broader Eastern Brazilian Pegmatite Province and the Proterozoic basement terranes of the Arauaua belt, where complex metamorphic rocks are cut by granitic intrusions and associated pegmatite dikes. These geological formations have historically provided favorable conditions for the localized recovery of various pegmatite-derived minerals, contributing to the rich mineralogical heritage of the wider Jequitinhonha River valley region.
