Aquamarine Crystal

These Aquamarine Crystals will delight the person who loves their crystals au naturel. No polishing, colouring, heating or anything else has been done to these other than removal of dirt. The left is higher quality.

They are a nice quality and 100% Brazilian. Here is a video to see them better. The left is better quality is the left one.

We also have a range of grades of tumbles. Interesting green-blue was the preferred colour for this crystal but now it is blue.

I have found myself recently really connecting to aquamarine for the first time as a means of releasing that which Spirit says needs to go now! It also helps me who has a family history of being judgmental become more tolerant. And customers have commented that they who were easily overwhelmed by their responsibilities became better at managing things. It also may alleviate allergies, hay fever, colds and bronchitis. Read more on the Tabs.

I sell aquamarine crystal rulers like this to geological collectors as often as metaphysical buyers as both group love them.

Shamarah's insights

This stone has proven to be good for those who are in "hyper" energies - too much energy to be able to do or listen to anything. For example : hyper-happy and hyper-active. When used for just 10 minutes (then put away) to release the excess energies so you setlle down and remain happy and able to action. This has been tested on those who have Earth bodies (Virgo - me) and Fire bodies (young Leo ADHD child)

Additional Properties of Varieties

Solution Aquamarine

Rare formation as it forms in a solution rather than crystallising in a gas pocket. Water has to be pumped out of the mine to access these crystals. The water creates wild etchings, canals, caves and other unique formations. Physically said to:

• Strong icy energy which is very cooling so good to reduce inflammation no matter where it is in the body.
• Use to pull out infections, bacterial or viral (e.g. tonsillitis, bronchitis, or strep throat)

Aquamarine

Aquamarine is a blue or cyan variety of beryl. It occurs at most localities which yield ordinary beryl. The gem-gravel placer deposits of Sri Lanka contain aquamarine. Lovely specimens have been found in USA, China and Afghanistan. Green-yellow beryl, such as that occurring in Brazil, is sometimes called chrysolite aquamarine.. The deep blue version of aquamarine is called maxixe. Maxixe is commonly found in the country of Madagascar. Its color fades to white when exposed to sunlight or is subjected to heat treatment, though the color returns with irradiation.

Emerald

Emerald is green beryl, colored by trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium. Most emeralds are highly included, so their brittleness (resistance to breakage) is classified as generally poor. Hence why it was one of the first gem stones to be synthesised for the jewellery trade.

Morganite

also known as "pink beryl", "rose beryl", "pink emerald" (is a forbidden trade name), and "cesian (or caesian) beryl", is an uncommon light pink to rose-colored gem-quality variety of beryl. Orange/yellow varieties of morganite can also be found, and color banding is common. It can be routinely heat treated to remove patches of yellow and is occasionally treated by irradiation to improve its color. The pink color of morganite is attributed to Mn²⁺ ions.

Golden Beryl

golden yellow colour is attributed to Fe³⁺ ions. Golden beryl is used as gems.

Heliodore

green-yellow colour. Heliodor is used as gems.

Goshenite

Colourless beryl. The gem value of goshenite is relatively low. However, goshenite can be colored yellow, green, pink, blue and in intermediate colors by irradiating it with high-energy particles.

Red Beryl

Formerly known as "bixbite". Scarlet or red emerald is a forbidden trade name, Red beryl is very rare. While gem beryls are ordinarily found in pegmatites and certain metamorphic stones, red beryl occurs in topaz-bearing rhyolites. Hence it is also highly included therefore brittle.
