Aquamarine Spray with Schorl
Shigar Valley, Shigar District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
11.7 x 4.3 x 2.2 cm (4.61 x 1.69 x 0.87 in)

This is an excellent spray of Aquamarine crystals with three Schorl crystals intersecting the top of the specimen. The jet black Schorl crystals stand out nicely against the light blue of the Aquamarine. Measuring up to a respectable 11.5 centimeters, each Aquamarine crystal has alternating glassy and frosted prismatic faces and expands beyond the Schorl crystals and comes to a thinner termination. Resting above the two larger Schorl crystals is a single sharply-formed Albite crystal that accents the top of the piece with its opaque white color.

From the Collection of William and Ruth Loomis.
