Aquamarine from Shigar Valley, Shigar District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan

Deep in the heart of the stunning Shigar Valley in Skardu, Pakistan, lies the Nyt Bruk Mine, home to some of the most breathtaking specimens in the world. Among those specimens, there is this magnificent Aquamarine with Schorl spray on Albite that will leave you speechless. It all started when our team in February 2023 stumbled upon a massive piece of the matrix that held the promise of something truly special. The Aquamarine has a brilliant blue-green hue, and the contrasting schorl spray on the Albite very much adds to its beauty. The visual impact of this piece is breathtaking, and it easily would be a centerpiece in any world-class collection of high-end minerals. The Color, clarity, luster, and aesthetics are perfectly present in this specimen.
