Description

A fine display specimen of Beryl var Aquamarine from the classic pegmatite area of Nagar, Pakistan. The Aquamarine crystals measure to 2.6cm tall by 2.5cm in diameter, and are arranged in a cluster of parallel hexagonal towers. Smaller crystals form a rampart at the base of the larger crystals. The Beryls have grown on a matrix of white to silvery hexagonal booklets of Muscovite, and white Albite. The light blue crystals are very gemmy, with misty inclusions closer to the matrix, and all have a bright lustre. A fine display group of Aquamarine crystals.
