Aquamarine with Bi-Color Fluorite. Nagar, Hunza Valley, Gilgit District, Northern Areas Pakistan.
This is a gorgeous large cabinet specimen. Both the Aquamarine crystals and large Fluorite sit atop a matrix of Muscovite and Albite. Glassy blue crystals swarm over this plate from top to bottom. The upright crystal at top measures over 7 cm in height and the fat crystals in cluster to the right measure over 6.5 cm in width. These crystals, rehealed on the backside (during a natural process that allowed early formative imperfections to be healed by continued crystal growth), are all perfectly terminated with flat tops.
The pink and green Fluorite hugs the fattest Aqua termination and also measures nearly 6.5 cm in width. On the far left you can see two blocky Albite crystals with a small pink Fluorite.
Measures 17.5 x 18 x 11 cm.
Estimated Value $28,000 - 35,000.
Ex. Edward David Mineral Collection.
