This striking specimen from the Skardu District of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, showcases a bold 7.5 cm schorl crystal that dramatically projects from a matrix rich in aquamarine, quartz, and albite. The overall composition is both balanced and visually dynamic, offering exceptional contrast between the deep black schorl, pale blue aquamarine, and the lighter tones of quartz and albite.

The schorl crystal, although repaired, retains a robust presence with sharp terminations and a lustrous, jet-black surface. Nestled nearby is a well-formed aquamarine crystal, exhibiting excellent clarity and a soft color, which perfectly complements the surrounding matrix. The interplay of textures and tones throughout the specimen creates a captivating visual experience from multiple angles.

Despite the noted repair, the specimen is in excellent overall condition and offers substantial display value. It is a beautiful representation of Skardu’s classic pegmatite mineralogy, making it an attractive addition for collectors of fine tourmaline or mixed-species specimens.
