Description:When it comes to Aquamarine, Pakistan is the most productive country for specimens in the modern age of mineral collecting. Some of the very finest quality Aquamarine specimens come from the various pegmatites in the Pakistani Himalayas, especially in the Shigar Valley. This piece hosts a good quality, 2.7 cm., sharp, gem quality "pencil" with good luster and a soft blue color sitting on white Albite matrix. The interesting aspect of the piece is the fact that the crystal was actually broken in the pocket due to tectonic activity underground, yet both halves of the crystal managed to stay next to each other on the matrix, creating a very cool specimen
