Beautiful and clear aquamarine crystal, in a "barrel" shape. It's the result of a partial corrosion of the crystal, coming from a "baggins" discovered in 1990, which contained over one hundred kilos of beautiful crystals like this one. Provenient from Lavra do Jaquetô mine, in Guaratinga, Medeiros Neto, state of Bahia, Brazil.
