Aquamarine with Molybdenite! and Muscovite

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 Pakistani 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 several sharp, translucent, soft blue color, hexagonal prismatic crystals of Aquamarine which are associated with silvery Muscovite on matrix, but the most important aspect of the piece is that it features silvery metallic tabular blades of MOLYBDENITE! I have only seen three of these pieces over the last 20+ years from Pakistan, so obviously this association is incredibly rare. The largest Aquamarine measures 2.0 cm and the largest Molybdenite measures 2.1 cm. If you collect gem pegmatite specimens, unusual associations or just assorted Beryls from around the world, don't miss out on this one. A very attractive gem crystal association specimen this famous Pakistani pegmatite locality. No real damage that I can see with the naked eye. Valued at $1500.
