Etched Aquamarine on Feldspar Matrix – Skardu Pakistan

Directly from the legendary Shigar Valley, this 69.3ct specimen is a prize for collectors who favor the rugged, "etched" look of beryl. This Aquamarine crystal has been naturally sculpted by the changing chemistry of its hydrothermal pocket, resulting in a complex network of geometric pits, "stepped" faces, and a unique frosted luster.

The crystal possesses a soft "ice-blue" hue that glows beautifully when illuminated. It sits perfectly on a snowy-white Feldspar matrix, providing a clean and bright backdrop that emphasizes the crystal's blue tones. Measuring 35mm at its widest point, this is a robust and aesthetic cabinet specimen that captures the raw, powerful beauty of Northern Pakistan’s geology.
