What a wonderful aqumarine! You don't see many pieces from The Mournes on the market, for sure this is one of the best aquas ever found there.
And as usual, your photo is superb, it makes that gem glow!
Do you know when it was found?


The beryl was in the British museum and then moved to the Sorbonne. The estate where this piece came from indicates that it dates back to the early 1700's and possibly much later.

I love it when one can trace the history of a specimen. I have one which I can trace back to a batch of specimens mentioned in a book of letters written at the time and it was added to the collection it came from in 1828-1830 (according to the catalog)

Agreed, this is fantastic for a lot of reasons. I have seen a bit from this locality, but that red hue is great. Congrats indeed.

Thanks Richard! The lighting for this piece influences and amplifies the color of the rhodochrosite.
