Summary

Description
English: Beryl (Var.: Aquamarine)
Locality: Shengus (Shingus), Haramosh Mts., Skardu District, Baltistan, Northern Areas, Pakistan (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 9.4 x 8.9 x 6.0 cm.
This is an amazing, really uniquely aesthetic cluster of glassy and gemmy, sky-blue aquamarines joined at the hip. The result is a cityscape appearance composed of many crystals with multiple terminations, coalescing into two major crystals at the base. The stair-step pattern is augmented by the spectacular vertical striations that run the entire length of each prismatic face, emphasizing the unusual geometry of the piece as a whole and making it draw the eye. The top portions of the crystals are very gemmy, and the terminations exhibit incipient etching which causes them to sparkle a bit more than normal. A major, captivating aquamarine specimen that weighs 562 grams. It was mined in 2008. It is complete-all-around.
