    Crystal Facts

    Phenakite with Biotite

    Phenakite can form alongside dark biotite in highly evolved granitic pegmatites. As the pegmatite cools, beryllium becomes concentrated and Phenakite crystallises within the rock, while biotite forms alongside it. These contrasting crystals offer a glimpse into the geological conditions that shaped the specimen.

    Phenakite from Carnaíba

    The Carnaíba mining district in Bahia, Brazil is famous for emeralds and other rare minerals. Its complex pegmatites provide the unusual conditions needed for minerals such as Phenakite to form.
