This extraordinary aquamarine specimen with water inclusions, associated with mica and albite, is a rare and highly sought-after example from Córrego da Cruzeta, located in Padre Paraíso, Minas Gerais—one of the most prestigious areas in the Jequitinhonha Valley, renowned for the exceptional quality of its beryls.
Measuring 7.5 × 5.3 × 3.5 cm and weighing 239 grams, the crystal has an imposing presence and strong visual appeal. The aquamarine stands out for its translucent light-blue color, vitreous luster, and the fascinating presence of naturally trapped water bubbles—an extremely rare and highly collectible phenomenon that brings a sense of life and movement to the crystal.
The composition is enhanced by mica, which adds subtle silvery reflections and a delicate lamellar texture, and by albite, which provides a soft contrast with its pale tone, creating a harmonious base that further accentuates the aquamarine’s blue.
The result is a specimen of outstanding mineralogical beauty, with a well-balanced aesthetic, excellent crystalline integrity, and a natural association that only exceptional geological formations can produce.
Ideal for:
Collectors of rare and phenomenal mineral specimens
Statement pieces for display cases and mineral décor
Specialized exhibitions and curated collections
Energetic or metaphysical use, as aquamarine is traditionally associated with calmness, clarity, and flow
The aquamarine with water inclusions, mica, and albite from Córrego da Cruzeta is a singular and elegant piece that beautifully represents the mineral richness of Padre Paraíso—a true treasure for discerning collectors.
