SOLD

Very clean and colored natural aquamarine crystal. Certainly suitable for further use e.g. production of fine jewelry.

This aesthetic aquamarine was found by Pakistani miners in the middle of Karakoram Mountain in the steep Shigar Valley of North Kashmir. Miners travel to the mines a few days on foot through narrow paths and passes. They even live in the mountains during the season. The surrounding mountain peaks are frozen and snowy all year round due to their altitude.
