Aquamarine, Topaz, Schorl & Albite – Skardu Pakistan

Finding a single high-quality crystal is common, but finding a "four-mineral" association of this caliber is a collector's dream. Sourced from the high-altitude mines of the Shigar Valley, this 140g specimen is anchored by a sharp, sky-blue Aquamarine crystal and a precious Topaz crystal. The duo is joined by a highly lustrous, jet-black needle of Schorl (Black Tourmaline), all set upon a snowy-white Albite (Feldspar) matrix.

The contrast here is spectacular: the airy blue of the beryl, the gemmy clarity of the topaz, and the metallic black of the tourmaline are perfectly highlighted by the bright white "Cleavelandite-style" Albite. Measuring 67mm in height, this specimen has a robust, three-dimensional structure that looks impressive from every angle. It is a 100% natural, untreated treasure that represents the peak of mineral diversity in Pakistani geology.
