Item Description

A lovely etched Beryl (var: "Aquamarine") crystal from the Pakistani Himalayas with a soft blue color and ethereal form The crystal is water clear in areas, and alternates between fine "teeth"-like points and smooth striated surfaces. It truly resembles a Brazilian etched Aqua more than a Pakistani Aqua, but it is indeed from Pakistan. Some of the original (un-etched) crystal faces can be seen on the exterior of the specimen as well. A very cool single gem crystal from one of the most productive countries in the world for Aquas.
