Aquamarine is common enough as single crystals, of course, but when you see a geometric and perfect aquamarine that looks like it has eaten something of another species, that is another story. This 3.5 cm crystal of aquamarine from Shigar, Pakistan has a beautiful helix, a kind of cloudy inclusion. This is a classic example of gem-quality Aquamarine from Shigar Valley, an area known worldwide for its aquamarine. The crystal is fine all around with a lovely flat termination. Certainly a really nice piece of great quality and fine aesthetics.
