Aquamarine with Topaz

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, especially the pieces from around Shigar. This locality has produced some of the most exciting Aquamarine specimens in recent years. This piece features a good, sharp, GEM/gemmy, lustrous, soft blue color prismatic crystal of Aquamarine measuring 3.7 cm associated with a pale sherry colored Topaz crystals that has lustrous, smooth faces and measures 1.2 cm sitting on Albite. Great shape overall, and the photos might make the Aqua appear to be damaged, but it's all internal, and I can't see any surface damage. A good quality gem crystal association specimen from this most prestigious of Pakistani pegmatite localities. Valued at $1700.
