Vesuvianite Crystal on Biotite Matrix - Pakistan

Acquire a fine, small cabinet specimen of Vesuvianite crystal naturally anchored to a lustrous Biotite matrix. This distinctive mineral association weighs a precise 127 Carats (approximately 25.4 Grams) and is sourced from the world-renowned pegmatite deposits of Shigar Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.

Specimen Highlights:

1. Vesuvianite Crystal: The primary Vesuvianite crystal (also known as Idocrase) exhibits its characteristic prismatic form and likely a desirable green, brown, or yellow-green hue.

2. Biotite Matrix: The crystal is beautifully framed by plates or flakes of Biotite mica, providing a striking contrast—the dark, metallic sheen of the Biotite makes the lighter-colored Vesuvianite crystal pop.

3. Shigar Provenance: Specimens from the Shigar Valley are highly valued by international collectors for their excellent crystal quality and aesthetic presentation.
