MUSEALE Aquamarine blue with Muscovite on a matrix of crystals from Nagar District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, weighing 3313 g with dimensions 312 × 134 × 82 mm.
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals, we propose a remarkable group of Aquamarine crystals with Muscovite from Nagar District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
Moreover, it is characterized by a dense association of prismatic Aquamarine crystals of intense blue, with perfect terminations, in pleasant color contrast with the white Muscovite of the matrix, and of substantial dimensions—features that increase its aesthetic value and mineralogical importance.
The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and for the overall aesthetic balance, with characteristics that enhance its natural structure and visual impact.
Aquamarine is the bluish-blue variety of Beryl (Be3Al2Si6O18); the color is due to traces of iron in the crystal structure. Granitic pegmatites of Gilgit-Baltistan, in Pakistan, are among the world’s most important sources for gem-quality Aquamarine crystals, often associated with Muscovite and Feldspar as in this example. Nagar District, in particular, is well known among collectors for producing groups of well-formed, large crystals.
This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also within the realm of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally attributed to the mineral species.
All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, with rare exceptions always noted in the description. The photographs are taken with professional lighting to best showcase colors and details; however, slight variations in shade may occur depending on the device or ambient light.
Shipping is carried out via reliable express couriers selected for fast delivery (in many cases 1-2 business days in Europe), tracked and insured shipping, and professional and secure packing, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries can also occur the day after payment depending on the destination.
It is possible to combine multiple purchases and receive them in a single shipment, even from auctions with different end dates, simply contact us to arrange the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
