Aquamarine Specimen - 269g

$220.00

Aquamarine with Smoky Quartz & Mica – Shigar Valley, Pakistan – 269g

A beautiful and highly aesthetic mineral specimen from the famous Shigar Valley of Pakistan, featuring a transparent pale-blue aquamarine crystal dramatically positioned above smoky quartz, mica, and contrasting white matrix.

The aquamarine displays an attractive icy-blue color, excellent translucency, and a well-defined crystal form. Large smoky quartz crystals provide dramatic contrast, while silvery mica adds texture and sparkle throughout the specimen. Viewed from different angles, the combination creates an unusually sculptural and visually interesting cabinet piece.

This classic association of aquamarine, smoky quartz, and mica is characteristic of the pegmatite mineral specimens for which northern Pakistan is internationally known.

Condition Disclosure: Based on visual inspection, there appears to be a possibility of an old repair or stabilization near the aquamarine/matrix contact. We cannot confirm whether this area represents a repair or a natural mineral contact, so the specimen is being conservatively offered and priced with this possibility disclosed. Please review all photographs carefully. This does not detract significantly from the specimen's excellent overall display appearance.
