Gemmy Blue Crystals of Aquamarine on Original Muscovite. Chumar Bakhoor, Hunza Valley, Gilgit District, Northern Areas of Pakistan.
This is a most impressive and aesthetic Aquamarine plate. Viewing the plate closely, one is pleasantly surprised by its vibrancy, pristine surfaces and aesthetic arrangement. It’s a rare treat to come across a specimen with so many qualities in one package, including the natural, slightly bronzed Muscovite blades that add to the overall visual beauty. Plates of this quality are extremely difficult to find as most have disappeared into private collections years ago.
Measures 11.5 cm by 15 cm by 14 cm.
Estimated Value $24,000 - 28,000.
Ex Kevin Ward Mineral Collection.
