Product Description

Discover an exceptional five-mineral collector specimen from Shigar Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, featuring a beautifully formed, transparent blue-green Aquamarine crystal accompanied by reddish-orange Garnet, smoky Quartz, black Schorl Tourmaline, and prominent white feldspar crystals.

Weighing 83 grams, this fascinating natural mineral association showcases the extraordinary geological diversity of Pakistan's famous Himalayan pegmatite deposits.

The centerpiece is a striking, well-defined hexagonal Aquamarine crystal with delicate blue-green coloration and excellent light transmission. Surrounding it are sharply contrasting black Tourmaline crystals, beautifully formed smoky Quartz, and large white feldspar crystals.
