This extraordinary 195.8 gram etched Medina Aquamarine from Minas Gerais, Brazil is one of those specimens that instantly stops you in your tracks. Recovered in 2005, it represents a generation of Medina material that has become exceptionally difficult to find—especially with this combination of size, pristine transparency, and dramatic natural etching.

Every face is a work of art. Intricate chemical etching, razor-sharp relief, and icy blue color create an almost surreal landscape, as if the crystal were carved from frozen ocean waves. Rotate it in the light and the entire specimen comes alive, revealing endless textures, depth, and that unmistakable glassy Medina glow.

This is far more than an aquamarine—it’s a landmark collector specimen from one of the world’s most legendary pegmatite regions, carrying both incredible provenance and timeless beauty.
