Aquamarine Crystal Cluster with Mica, 2.6 kg, Gilgit Pakistan

A Large Aquamarine Cluster on Muscovite Mica From Gilgit

This aquamarine specimen weighs 2.6 kilograms and measures 170 x 125 mm, a genuine cluster rather than a single crystal, built from multiple terminated aquamarine crystals growing together on a muscovite mica base. Gilgit, in Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan, is one of the more established sources for aquamarine on this kind of mica matrix, and a piece at this weight represents a larger, more complete pull from the pocket than the small cabinet specimens most collectors are used to seeing.

Every crystal across the cluster is terminated, and the mica base gives the whole piece a natural, layered texture rather than a bare crystal sitting flat. At this scale, the cluster reads as a genuine display centerpiece, the kind of specimen that changes how a shelf or cabinet looks rather than blending in alongside smaller pieces. The blue holds steady across the crystals without going patchy or uneven, which matters more at larger sizes since bigger specimens have more surface area where color inconsistency would show. For a clearer sense of scale and how the crystals sit against the mica, we'd recommend watching the video of this exact cluster, since a piece this size is genuinely hard to judge from photos alone.
