Description

Beryl var. Aquamarine
Gilgit-Baltistan
Pakistan

This fine single crystal of Aquamarine exhibits exceptional water-clear transparency, with sharply defined hexagonal prism faces and a well-formed, lustrous termination. The surfaces display a classic vitreous luster that enhances the crystal's pristine clarity and pale blue hue-hallmarks of high-quality Beryl from this renowned Himalayan mineral region. Its elegant proportions and gem-grade quality make this specimen equally suited for a high-end mineral collection or as a standout example of natural crystal perfection.
