Description

Beryl var. Aquamarine with Pink Apatite in Matrix
Pakistan

A striking mineral association from Pakistan, this specimen features a prominent hexagonal crystal of Aquamarine measuring 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) along the edge, displaying fine luster and sharp termination. Scattered around the matrix are several smaller Aquamarine crystals, adding balance and visual interest to the composition. Enhancing the rarity and appeal of the piece is a single, well-formed Pink Apatite crystal-an uncommon and desirable contrast to the cool blue tones of the Beryl. The entire assemblage rests on a silvery bed of platy Muscovite Mica, whose layered, reflective texture provides a dynamic base for the vibrant mineral forms. This well-balanced specimen highlights both aesthetic harmony and mineralogical significance, making it a fine addition to any collection.
Measurements: 5.00 x 3.50 x 3.00 inches (12.70 x 8.89 x 7.62 cm)
