A transparent, pale sky-blue crystal of Aquamarine, the blue variety of Beryl. This ex-matrix specimen is composed of two co-joined crystals in parallel growth with a common base but separate terminations. The crystals are water-clear and gemmy, yet contain multiple feathery and wispy inclusions. The prism faces are mirror-smooth whereas the terminations, although near perfect, are naturally etched and pitted. A terrific Aquamarine from Chumar Bakhoor in the Gilgit District of Pakistan.
