Rare Enhydro Aquamarine With Diamond Termination

A stunning aquamarine crystal from the legendary Shigar Valley in Pakistan’s Skardu District — renowned for producing some of the world’s finest aquamarine. This piece features a true enhydro near the surface on one side, where the trapped fluid can be clearly seen moving with motion. The crystal terminates naturally in a flawless “diamond tip” termination, adding sharp geometry and brilliant internal reflection.

This is a museum-level inclusion crystal, representing the perfect union of gem clarity, structural precision, and high collectability. The visible moving fluid connects the collector directly to the mineral’s hydrothermal formation — a tiny, living window into deep Earth history.

Features:

• Locality: Shigar Valley, Skardu District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
• Dimensions: 38 × 18 × 13 mm
• Weight: 19 grams
• Species: Beryl var. Aquamarine
• Inclusion: Near-surface enhydro with visible moving fluid
• Termination: Fully natural “diamond tip” termination
• Matrix: Minor feldspar matrix 

Why it’s exceptional

• Rare inclusion: Enhydros are seldom found in aquamarine, as beryl typically forms without fluid cavities — making this piece a true rarity.
• Outstanding clarity: Transparent with the classic sky-blue hue, gem-quality body with brilliant internal light play.
• Iconic origin: The Shigar Valley produces aquamarines prized by both gem cutters and mineral collectors for their unparalleled color and form — this piece exemplifies that legacy.
• Aesthetic perfection: The crisp prism faces, fine striations, and diamond-like termination create an elegant balance between geometry and translucence.

Care: Avoid exposure to heat or cold (room temp is best with enhydros), or ultrasonic cleaning to preserve the integrity of the inclusion.
