A medium-colored, sky-blue, single Aquamarine crystal accompanied by white Albite fromShengus in Pakistan. The Hindu Kush has produced some great Aquamarines and this one is very good! It is an impressive, largely gem crystal with a super glassy luster and a fine vertical striation as well. It has beautiful bright sky-blue color and sharp prism faces with flat pinacoid termination. There are a few small imperfection which doesn´t affect the overall impression.
