Product Description
This is an emerald-in-matrix specimen from Swat, Pakistan, showing classic hexagonal emerald crystals embedded in their host rock. The specimen displays:
Crystal Structure & Morphology:
- Multiple well-formed hexagonal emerald crystals (beryl variety) exhibiting the characteristic six-sided prismatic habit
- Crystal faces show vitreous luster with visible terminations
- Size: 25 x 22 x 20 mm, weighing 13.63 grams
Color & Optical Properties:
- Vivid green coloration caused by chromium and vanadium trace elements
- Color zoning visible in the crystals, indicating variable growth conditions
- Opaque clarity typical of matrix specimens, preserving geological context
Matrix Composition:
- Host rock appears to be mica schist with visible biotite (bronze/copper colored flakes) and quartz
- The association indicates metamorphic origin, consistent with Swat Valley's geological setting
- Matrix preservation provides educational value showing emerald's natural formation environment
Geological Significance:
- Swat Valley emeralds form in metamorphic rocks through hydrothermal processes
- The specimen represents Pakistan's world-renowned emerald deposits, rivaling Colombian sources
- Ideal for teaching metamorphic petrology, crystal growth, and beryl group mineralogy
Collector & Academic Value:
- Rare matrix specimen preserving in-situ crystal formation
- Educational reference for gemology students studying beryl varieties
- Demonstrates the relationship between emerald formation and host rock metamorphism
