Item 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 the pieces from Nagar. This locality has produced some of the most exciting Aquamarine association specimens in recent years. This specimen features a few fine, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, light blue color prismatic crystals of Aquamarine measuring up to 1.6 cm associated with pale crystals of Fluorite sitting on silvery-golden metallic blades of Muscovite. The piece can be displayed from a few angles. The luster on the Aquas is good and there is virtually no damage to the piece overall. Valued at $800.
