This is a very attractive crystal of beryl var. aquamarine, recently acquired from the renowned Skardu District in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. The piece shows a pleasing soft blue color and a distinctive sugary surface texture, giving it a unique visual character. The crystal is well-formed and displays nicely from all angles, with especially strong presence from the front. Subtle internal features and natural inclusions add depth and interest without distracting from its overall appeal. A fine and honest specimen, and a lovely addition to any beryl collection.
