A gemmy, pale sea-green aquamarine crystal with a sharp, clean termination, standing upright between chunky snow-white albite crystals. Golden-brown muscovite mica grows all around it in stacked, flower-like books, and small lustrous black cassiterite (tin ore) crystals sit at the base of the aquamarine. A complete, natural pocket specimen from Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, sourced directly from the miners by our family. Natural and untreated. The mica books are delicate, so please handle the piece by the albite base. Ethically sourced: we pay the miners fair prices, and 5% of every sale goes to their safety and well-being. Free shipping from Alberta, Canada. 7-day returns. The item shown is the exact specimen you will receive.
