Aquamarine with Spessartine & Schorl from Skardu, Pakistan

A delicate aquamarine, spessartine, and schorl specimen from the classic mineral locality of Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.

This miniature specimen features slender pale blue aquamarine crystals emerging from a light-colored matrix, accented by small reddish-orange spessartine garnets and dark schorl tourmaline. The combination of minerals gives the piece a beautiful pegmatite look, with excellent contrast between the glassy aquamarine, warm garnet tones, and black schorl.

A great collector specimen for anyone interested in Pakistani aquamarine, classic pegmatite minerals, or mixed-species matrix pieces.
