Elegant aquamarine intaglio (heliodor). Heron, with a half moon. Hemblematic composition of an astral symbolic value (wisdom, elegance, rebirth). The shape of the stone must be considered as very peculiar: the prismatic shape of the beryl has been intentionally kept, in order to maintain its precious weight in carats, thus preserving the color and the extraordinary brightness of the stone (even for those reasons, the reverse has been satinized). Wear marks and evidence of mounting. 19th century.
