Beryl var Aquamarine on Orthoclase
Hunza Valley, Gilgit District, Northern Areas, Pakistan
 
110 x 76 x 24 mm   Beryl 10 x 6mm         Cabinet
 
A remarkable talking point in the cabinet, this is a crystal face of an Orthoclase feldspar  (with a clearly defined termination on the end) with a water clear gem beryl crystal growing out from the face.
The creamy coloured Orthoclase is a large size but is light in weight being only 24mm deep.
