1.85" Pristine Goshenite Crystal Cluster - Erongo Mountains, Namibia
This is an incredibly beautiful 1.85" wide cluster of goshenite crystals from the Erongo Mountains of Namibia. All of the crystals exhibit an exceptional luster and pristine terminations. The specimen has been mounted to an acrylic display base.
Beryl is a mineral composed of beryllium aluminum cyclosilicate, with the chemical formula Be3Al2(SiO3)6. Naturally occurring beryl tends to form hexagonal crystals that can reach several meters in size if given the right conditions. Completely pure beryl (goshenite) will be transparent and colorless, while mineral impurities frequently tint the crystals color in most specimens.
Well known varieties of beryl include aquamarine and emerald, although beryl can also be colorless, yellow, white, and red, depending on the incorporated impurities during formation. Red beryl is its rarest form, and can currently only be found in New Mexico and Utah.
