Aquamarine Creation explores the fascinating geological genesis of aquamarine, a captivating blue-green gemstone, by examining the Earth systems that contribute to its formation. It delves into the mineralogical composition of beryl, highlighting how trace elements, particularly iron, are crucial for aquamarine's distinctive color. The book emphasizes that aquamarine formation is a delicate interplay of specific geochemical conditions within particular geological settings, requiring the presence of beryllium, aluminum, silicon, oxygen, and those vital trace elements, all under precise temperature and pressure conditions.
The book presents a comprehensive, process-oriented explanation of aquamarine's creation, integrating geological, chemical, and physical perspectives. It begins by introducing beryl and its varieties, then analyzes the chemical composition required for aquamarine, and explores typical geological environments such as granitic pegmatites and hydrothermal veins.
By drawing on geological surveys, mineralogical analyses, and geochemical studies from aquamarine-producing regions worldwide, Aquamarine Creation provides a valuable resource for mineral collectors, gemologists, and anyone interested in Earth science and the origins of gemstones.
