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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 99.941%; height: 195.938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\" style=\"width: 28.1471%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\" style=\"width: 69.434%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eInformation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.1471%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.434%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e141 gram\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.1471%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.434%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e72 x 55 x 49 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.1471%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eShape\/Cut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.434%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eNatural Terminated Crystal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.1471%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.434%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eNatural Sky Blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.1471%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eClarity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.434%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eNatural, Included (as formed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.1471%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eTreatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.434%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eNatural\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.1471%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.434%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eNagar Mine, Skardu, Pakistan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.1471%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eHardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.434%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e7.5 to 8 (Mohs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.1471%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 69.434%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eBeryl (Aquamarine Variety)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGemstone Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirthstone: March\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZodiac Sign: Aquarius, Pisces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChakra: Throat Chakra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealing Properties: Aquamarine is commonly linked to calm communication and mental clarity, tied to the throat chakra in crystal healing practice.
