Aquamarine

Item Description

When it comes to Aquamarine, Pakistan is the most productive country for specimens in the last 20 years. Some of the very finest quality Aquamarine specimens come from the various pegmatites in the Paki Himalayas, including the pieces from the famous Nagar region. This locality has produced some of the most exciting Aquamarine specimens in recent years. This piece features a stout, sharp, glassy, translucent, soft blue color, hexagonal prismatic crystal of Aquamarine which is associated with minor silvery Muscovite. I love the multi-stepped basal termination on the crystal, which is not typical for the locality. The prism faces show a bit of incomplete growth where it obviously was separated from another Beryl crystal or two, but still a very attractive, good quality gem crystal specimen this famous Pakistani pegmatite locality.
