Product Description

Exceptional Aquamarine Goshenite Crystal from Pakistan's Legendary Nagar Valley

This stunning 304-gram specimen showcases the remarkable beauty of Aquamarine and Goshenite crystals naturally formed on a lustrous mica matrix, sourced directly from the renowned mineral deposits of Nagar, Pakistan.

Geological Significance of Nagar, Pakistan

The Nagar Valley, located in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, is world-famous among mineral collectors for producing some of the finest aquamarine specimens on Earth. These remote mountainous region sit within the Karakoram Range, where the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates has created extraordinary geological conditions over millions of years.

Mining Location & Geology:

  • Region: Nagar Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan, Northern Pakistan
  • Elevation: Mining occurs at extreme altitudes, often between 3,000-5,000 meters (10,000-16,000 feet)
  • Host Rock: Pegmatite veins within metamorphic rocks
  • Formation: These beryl crystals formed in pegmatite pockets during the final stages of granite crystallization, where mineral-rich fluids created ideal conditions for aquamarine and goshenite growth
  • Associated Minerals: Mica (muscovite), feldspar, quartz, and occasionally tourmaline

Traditional Mining Methods:

Local miners in Nagar work under challenging conditions, often using traditional hand-mining techniques passed down through generations. The remote location and harsh mountain terrain make extraction extremely difficult, requiring miners to trek for hours or days to reach the pegmatite deposits. This artisanal mining preserves the integrity of specimens while supporting local communities who have been the guardians of these mineral treasures for decades.
