Weight: 56 grams (280 carats)
With Case: 92 grams
Origin: Skardu or Shigar Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
Included Minerals: Schorl Tourmaline (black), Albite Feldspar (white)
Crystal Type: Natural beryl var. aquamarine
This stunning 3-piece set of natural aquamarine crystals from northern Pakistan features icy blue clarity and brilliant structure. Each piece is hand-selected to showcase the natural association of aquamarine with dark black schorl tourmaline and creamy albite feldspar — a trio often found in the high-altitude pegmatite pockets of the Himalayas.
The aquamarine’s soft blue color is caused by trace amounts of iron within the beryl crystal structure. These crystals form deep within the Earth’s crust inside granitic pegmatites, where hot mineral-rich fluids cool slowly, allowing large, well-formed crystals to grow. Schorl and albite grow alongside aquamarine in these cavities, giving this specimen its distinctive natural character.
Aquamarine is a variety of beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈), prized for its transparency and sky-blue color.
Schorl tourmaline, the black mineral, is a common companion to aquamarine in pegmatites and forms from boron-rich fluids.
Albite, a sodium-rich feldspar, often appears as a white or pale-pink matrix mineral and helps stabilize the growing crystals.
Authentic hand-mined aquamarine from a world-famous mineral region.
Natural three-mineral combination in each specimen.
Beautifully displayed in a clear protective case.
Perfect for collectors, crystal lovers, and anyone seeking a unique, energy-rich display specimen straight from the heart of the Himalayas.
