Obviously, there are a lot of Pakistani aquamarines and many in this size range, but this is nevertheless something fairly special in quality for the gemminess, contrasts, and the fancy termination. The sharp and highly modified aquamarine crystal sits on the whitest, brightest cluster of cleavelandite blades you could dream up, and has such glassy faces and gemmy interior, that it stands out. The faces are subtly special too, with unusual patterning when you catch light just right, as if running water was frozen onto the surface as ice. It is simply a mesmerizing miniature, with complexity under the seemingly stark surface shape. As a bonus, there is a bit of accent from bronze colored mica blades and even a little bit of green fluorite too (on the bottom). The aquamarine itself is perfect and measures 3.5 x 2.7 x 2.4 cm.
