This superb specimen features a flawless, deep sky-blue aquamarine crystal perfectly poised atop a contrasting quartz matrix, creating a composition of remarkable elegance and visual clarity. The aquamarine is exceptionally well-terminated, fully transparent, and impressively gemmy, exhibiting mirror-like faces and brilliant internal clarity that glows from every angle.
Measuring 4.5 cm in length, the crystal displays superb luster and refined form, with crisp, sharp edges and a vibrant color that places it among the finest aquamarine specimens we have encountered from this locality. The quartz matrix adds both contrast and structure, enhancing the aquamarine’s commanding presence and making the entire piece a striking display specimen.
Collected from the celebrated pegmatites of Shigar Valley in the Skardu District—an area world-renowned for producing high-quality aquamarine—this piece stands out for its pristine condition and sculptural perfection. It is entirely free from damage, repairs, or restoration, making it a true collector’s prize and an exquisite example of Pakistani mineralogy at its best.
