Weighing 95 grams, this exceptional tri-mineral combination specimen features a lustrous sky-blue Aquamarine crystal perched on a white Albite matrix, accented by sharp black Tourmaline (schorl). Sourced from the famed pegmatites of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, the central beryl displays razor-sharp hexagonal geometry, excellent light transmission, and smooth, glassy faces. Nestled against the bright bladed albite, the dark, slender tourmaline needle creates a striking three-way color contrast that enhances the spatial complexity of the entire cluster. Completely natural, unpolished, and untreated, this 85-gram piece captures the ultimate classical association of Pakistani pegmatite minerals—making it a display-ready centerpiece for sophisticated fine mineral collections, combination showcases, or luxury crystal cabinets.
