Aquamarine Crystal Cluster Specimen with Muscovite Mica from Chumar Bakhoor, Pakistan – 6.7 KG

A Gem-Grade Aquamarine Cluster from One of Pakistan's Finest Localities

This 6.7-kilogram aquamarine specimen comes from Chumar Bakhoor, a high-altitude pegmatite locality in Gilgit-Baltistan specifically recognized among mineral collectors for producing some of the finest aquamarine-on-muscovite combinations in the world. What you're looking at is a full cluster of terminated aquamarine crystals with gem-grade clarity, naturally self-standing, with the kind of color and luster that's made this locality famous.

Watch it in real light before deciding: see the video here. It's the exact specimen you'll receive  including a clear, honest look at one small repair on the piece, which we point out directly in the video so there are no surprises.

What Is This Stone?

Aquamarine is the blue variety of beryl, and Chumar Bakhoor  a remote pegmatite field over 5,000 meters up in the Sumayar Valley of Nagar District, Gilgit-Baltistan — is one of the most respected sources for it. This locality is specifically known for producing aquamarine crystals naturally paired with coarse, silvery muscovite mica, a combination collectors actively seek out by name. The crystals on this specimen show excellent natural color and the kind of gem clarity that separates genuinely fine Pakistani aquamarine from average rough material.

Why This Specimen Stands Out

Visual impact. A full cluster of terminated aquamarine crystals, all showing gem-grade clarity and excellent luster, set against the silvery shimmer of muscovite mica. This specimen also stands on its own in a naturally aesthetic position, with no support needed.

Collector value. Large, self-standing aquamarine clusters from named, recognized localities like Chumar Bakhoor carry real significance among serious collectors, since locality-specific specimens are often valued not just for beauty but for documented geological provenance.

Honest representation. One crystal on this specimen has been professionally repaired, and we've pointed this out clearly in the video so you can see exactly where and how. Minor repairs are common and widely accepted in fine mineral specimens from this locality, and we'd rather you know upfront than be surprised later.

Properties & Details

Buying Guide: What to Look For in an Aquamarine Cluster

A few things worth knowing when comparing aquamarine cluster specimens:

• Locality matters. Named, recognized localities like Chumar Bakhoor carry documented reputation among collectors and mineral databases, which adds to a specimen's long-term value and interest.
• Clarity and color. Gem-grade clarity, like this specimen shows, is the more desirable end of the aquamarine spectrum compared to cloudy or heavily included material.
• Condition transparency. Ask whether any crystals have been repaired, and look for sellers who disclose this clearly rather than hiding it. Minor repairs are common in large cluster specimens and don't necessarily reduce display value, but you should always know before you buy.
• Self-standing form. A cluster that balances naturally without a stand indicates a well-formed, structurally sound piece.
• Companion minerals. Muscovite mica naturally grown alongside the aquamarine adds visual texture and reinforces the specimen's locality authenticity.

Authenticity You Can Trust

This specimen's aquamarine is 100% natural, with no color treatment of any kind. In the interest of full transparency, one crystal has a professional repair, which is clearly shown and pointed out in the linked video. We believe in showing you exactly what you're buying — not hiding imperfections, but being upfront about them so you can make an informed decision. We source directly from mining regions in Pakistan, keeping the chain from miner to collector short and transparent.

How to Use This Specimen

• Display & collection. A strong centerpiece for a serious mineral collection, especially for collectors who value documented, named localities.
• Gifting. A meaningful gift for a dedicated collector who will appreciate both the size and the locality significance.
• Educational value. A useful specimen for learning about Pakistani pegmatite geology and the specific mineral associations found at high-altitude localities like Chumar Bakhoor.

Care Instructions

• Clean gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth — avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, which can affect the delicate mica.
• Handle the repaired crystal area with extra care to avoid additional stress on the bond.
• Store away from prolonged direct sunlight.
• Given its size and weight, position on a stable, level surface and use both hands when moving it.
