Comments:
This Aquamarine crystals is totally fun! It's a gemmy, medium blue drop of etched fun.
I love the patterns that etching creates on aquamarine crystals. It looks very 'digital' to me, which I love, since it's a mixing of nature and math (nature IS math, but for this purpose, it's just neat to see basic geometry out there in nature.)
This crystal is double terminated, with a 'feathered' type of basal termination, and a pointy, 'sharpened pencil' - like pinacoidal termination.
