Item Description

A 1.6 cm, water-clear, gem, light blue aquamarine crystal is aesthetically set in a solid matrix of pearlescent muscovite on this showy, excellent and highly representative example from this famous Pakistan locale. The aqua is essentialy pristine, with only barely noticeable edge wear (with a loupe) and the scattered bit of periphery wear to the muscovite is certainly not a detraction.
