Oregon Teal-Green-Blue Aquamarine Beryl with Natural Heart-Shape, 414.30 carats,  I collected this in a volcanic mudflat In North Bend, Oregon where red-orange clay  wells up out of dark, sticky mud containing BERYLLIUM and trace minerals CHROMIUM  and/or VANADIUM (those 2 minerals make the emeralds green here) as well as IRON, which colors Aquamarine blue and gives Heliodor, a.k.a. Golden Beryl, its' yellow coloring. The teal-green-blue color with banding is very typical of our local Aquamarine Beryl, which is in Nodular Form rather then Prismatic Form.
