Topaz Crystal, Etched – Smoky Quartz & Mica Matrix – Skardu, Pakistan Mineral Specimen

Presenting a highly aesthetic and substantial three-mineral specimen, weighing a commanding 176 Grams (equivalent to 880 Carats). This complex piece showcases a beautiful association that is signature to the Himalayan pegmatites:

1. Etched Topaz: One or more Topaz crystals display the rare, naturally etched habit, where geological dissolution creates complex, sculptural, and frosted surfaces.

2. Smoky Quartz: Associated crystals of dark Smoky Quartz provide a bold, grounding contrast.

3. Mica: Plates of sparkling Mica (often Muscovite) add a shimmering, light-reflective layer to the matrix, completing the aesthetic combination.

Sourced from the prestigious pegmatite region of Skardu, Pakistan (the primary source for this association), this specimen is highly valued for its striking contrast and its unique, naturally sculpted crystal habit.

This specimen is a large cabinet miniature size, measuring 64 x 62 x 65 mm.
