Aquamarine with Muscovite and Albite

Item Description

Of the many well-known pegmatite localities in the high mountains of Pakistan, you'll find that a good percentage of them produce what are inarguably among the finest examples of Aquamarine in the world. If you think about the production over the last 30+ years, it's been quite impressive, and some of the pieces found within the last few years are among the best matrix Aquamarine specimens in the world. Most people associate Pakistani Aquas with the Shigar Valley, but nearby in Nagar, some really gorgeous pieces have been found for many years. This attractive and showy miniature sized piece features a predominant, stout, sharp, translucent, soft blue color, hexagonal crystal of Aquamarine which is associated with small white blocky crystals of Albite and beautiful bladed groups of silvery Muscovite. No major damage anywhere outside of the base of the piece, where it detached from the pocket wall. A good quality, showy display specimen of this classic material from Chumar Bakhoor. Priced in the inventory at $700.
