Natural Sky Blue Aquamarine Crystal, 141g, Nagar Mine Pakistan

A Fully Terminated Sky Blue Aquamarine From Nagar Mine

This natural aquamarine crystal comes from the Nagar mine in Skardu, a locality that sits alongside the better known Shigar Valley pockets but produces its own distinct run of clean, sky blue material. At 141 grams, it's a compact specimen, but the termination is complete on every face, and there's no chipping or fracturing anywhere along the crystal body, which is genuinely hard to find in aquamarine this size since smaller crystals tend to take more damage during extraction than larger ones.

The color sits in that true sky blue range aquamarine is known for, cool and even rather than leaning grey or overly pale. Under direct light the crystal shows real depth, and the termination faces catch light cleanly enough to photograph well without any staging. If you've watched the short video for this piece (reference MP-35), you'll notice the color holds steady as the crystal turns, which isn't always the case with lower grade material that shifts to washed out under different angles. For collectors building a set of Pakistani aquamarine by locality, a piece specifically from Nagar mine rounds out a collection that might already include Shigar Valley or Chumar Bakhoor material.

FAQS

Is this aquamarine crystal natural and untreated? Yes. This specimen from Nagar Mine, Skardu, Pakistan is completely natural with no heat treatment, dye, or enhancement of any kind. The sky blue color you see is exactly how the crystal formed underground.

What size is this aquamarine specimen? This piece weighs 141 grams and measures 72 x 55 x 49 mm, small enough to hold comfortably but substantial enough to stand as a solo display piece rather than needing a matching stand.

Where does this aquamarine crystal come from? It's sourced from the Nagar mine near Skardu in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, a region known for producing clean, sky blue aquamarine alongside better known localities like Shigar Valley.

Is the crystal fully terminated or broken from a larger piece? The crystal is completely terminated on its natural growth point and shows no chipping or fracture damage, meaning it formed and was extracted as a whole crystal rather than being cut or broken down.

Can this aquamarine be used for jewelry making or is it a display specimen only? This piece is sold as a raw mineral specimen for display and collecting. While aquamarine can be cut for jewelry, cutting this crystal would remove its natural termination and reduce its specimen value, so most collectors keep pieces like this intact.
