I hope this section will produce some interesting specimens that are not that well know. I will start with an aquamarine from the Mourne mountains.

Beryl variety aquamarine
Mourne Mts, Co. Down, Northern Ireland, UK
~ 7cm long
The left hand crystal is from Mourne (the right hand one is from Siberia)
In the Hunterian museum, Glasgow |
