This spectacular specimen from the Dara Mine Area in the Pech District, Afghanistan, is a true masterpiece of nature. Perfectly formed crystals of muscovite and schorl sit on a beige feldspar matrix, inspiring with their crystalline structure and elegant lustre. But the real eye-catchers of this extraordinary piece are the two aquamarine double-enders, which immediately catch the eye with their seemingly floating arrangement and intense colouring. These aquamarines have fully crystallised at the ends, giving the piece a breathtaking aesthetic.

Seemingly floating aquamarine double-enders

The two aquamarine double terminators on this piece are particularly impressive. They almost seem to float above the matrix, giving this specimen a unique lightness and elegance. Their strong, clear blue colour radiates through the crystalline structure, capturing the light in all its facets. These aquamarines are not only intensely coloured, but also perfectly crystallised. This phenomenon makes this aquamarine special and highly sought after by collectors. Its fine transparency and flawless shape make it stand out and make it an indispensable eye-catcher in any mineral collection.

Harmonious composition of muscovite, schorl and feldspar

In addition to the seemingly floating aquamarines, the combination of muscovite and schorl crystals on the beige feldspar matrix is another highlight of this piece. The muscovite shines silvery and shimmers in fine, layered crystals, while the schorl crystals impress with their deep black colour and perfectly formed shape. This composition of different minerals creates a harmonious overall picture that impressively showcases the beauty and diversity of nature. The fine, beige feldspar matrix provides the ideal foundation for this interplay and gives the piece stability and elegance at the same time.
