Item Description
Here we have a classic specimen of the famous Aquamarines from the Shigar Valley in Pakistan. These crystals are some of the most well-known and celebrated examples of Aquamarine from any world locality for their excellent form, color, quality and the fact that they are often found on matrix. This piece features a predominant, sharp, lustrous, very gemmy, pale icy blue colored hexagonal prism of Aquamarine measuring 4.2 cm, aesthetically flaring off of slightly smoky colored Quartz matrix with minor associated Muscovite and Albite. The most interesting aspect of the piece is the Aqua crystal hosts a moving water bubble! We took a video to show the bubble moving inside the crystal, when the piece is rotated from side to side. This is rarely seen in Aquamarine crystals from Pakistan, in my experience, and If you like Beryls, gem crystals or enhydro crystals, don't miss out on this rare beauty from one of the most productive gem mineral producing areas in the last few decades on Earth.
