I know that at first glance, this looks like the only thumbnail Medina Mine (Brazil) aquamarine you have ever seen, maybe; however, it is actually from a weird single pocket in Pakistan from 2020. This is a totally gem, transparent, clean floater crystal with wonderful color and sparkle. It is complete all around, doubly terminated, and has the most glassy of luster. It is a floater with no damage nor point of attachment. It LOOKS like a gem brazilian aqua, to be sure, but I personally obtained it in Peshawar's gem market so I am quite sure it is Pakistani as I was told. It is 9.85 grams. It is a small miniature or, angled properly, could be a large thumbnail in some displays.
