Presenting this amazing specimen featuring magnificent Aquamarine Crystal with beautiful candy-like Pink Apatite and lovely sharp Muscovite blades. The multiple Aquamarine crystals besides the main Crystal at the bottom together make it even more attractive. This is one of the most complete Aquamarine specimens one can see or own, and the color is even brighter and more intense in person. A fabulous composition that offers well-balanced aesthetics and high-quality minerals alike. The piece speaks for itself. It is completely fine all around except the apatite crystal which has a repair but clipped fixed and hardly visible through naked eye or felt through fingers. Highly lustrous, clear and of an appealing color, this magnificent specimen is a perfect fit for any showcase of high class minerals.

Aquamarine from Chumar Bakhoor, Nagar District, Pakistan
Chumar Bakhoor aquamarine is one of the defining specimen styles of the Pakistani Himalaya: pale to medium ice-blue beryl standing upright from glittering beds of bladed muscovite, sometimes accompanied by pink fluorapatite, pink to green fluorite, albite, microcline, quartz, topaz, schorl, and adularia. The locality is not famous simply because it produces aquamarine; it is famous because so much of its best aquamarine occurs as complete, displayable matrix specimens rather than as isolated gem rough. The classic Chumar Bakhoor “look” is a sharp hexagonal prism, glassy and transparent to translucent, set against a mica-rich pegmatite matrix that gives the blue color a cool metallic contrast.
