Not a great aqua specimen, but a cool locality nonetheless,
with some interesting bends. There is a pegmatite somewhere just outside the
town of Nanjiang Zhen where a few local people collect large black almandine (I
think) garnets and aquamarine prisms, this is reasonable close to the autunite
locality. Some of the aquas actually
reach a decent size, but they are all heavily included like this. I’ve also seen some columbite-tantalite from
here. Admittedly not the sexiest beryl
out there, but there are people who collect unusual beryl localities, so…. I’m
posting this.
