Beryl var. Aquamarine with Albite

specimen number:
9502968

location:
Skardu Road, Skardu District, Baltistan, Northern Areas, Pakistan

description:
A gorgeous gem quality transparent blue aquamarine crystal, very sharply terminated, is set with a small amount of white blocky opaque albite crystals. Measures 5.5 x 3.0 x 3.0 cm in size and is complete all around. To my naked eye this damage-free; with a 10x loupe the crystal shows one very tiny microscopic chip along one of the edges. Even with the loupe I have to look very closely to find this. The vertical lines seen in the photos are internal thin veils. For a Pakistani aquamarine, this is in excellent shape damage-wise. Very aesthetic and with great color; a superb miniature.
