Liquid ice from the Shigar

Liquid ice from the Shigar

Filming this beautiful icy-blue Aquamarine floater from the legendary Shigar Valley and it’s pure collector eye candy. The crystal is completely free-grown with razor terminations and intricate natural etching that looks almost sculpted by the mountain itself. In the sunlight the color glows that delicate glacial blue Shigar aquas are famous for — clean, elegant, and incredibly refined.

Pieces like this, with floating form and dramatic surface character, are exactly why Shigar Valley aquamarines are so coveted among serious mineral collectors. A tiny frozen sculpture from the high Karakoram.
