Emily Jones GIA, New York Quarterly Crystal: Garnets in Aquamarine For this quarterly crystal, we examined a transparent light blue-green hexagonal prism of aquamarine beryl terminated with a flat pinacoid (figure 14). This aquamarine crystal plays host to several orange garnet crystals. The stone contained dusty flake-like inclusions, naturally healed fractures, lathe-like inclusions, twinning, rounded colorless crystals identified as apatite (RRUFF R040098), and an unusual long prismatic orange crystal identified as rutile (RRUFF R040049).
