Pakistan-Afghanistan Pegmatite Specimens
|
|
We are receiving shipments of fine pegmatite minerals from Pakistan-Afghanistan, some of which are new to the gem and mineral world.
Please check this area repeatedly if you are interested in gem minerals.
We also have pegmatite specimens from Brazil, Nigeria, and the US.
We hope to have a newly mined lot of Rose quartz by September.
Crystallized Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz, Der-I-Peach Mine, Paroon, Kunar, Afghanistan This deposit found two years ago has the deepest colored crystallized rose quartz ever found. It has been coming out in small quantities to Haleem Khan of Hindu Kush minerals in Peshawar, and our company now offers a large selection of specimens. Even the less colored equals the color of Sapucaia, Minas Gerais Brazil. See the next Mineralogical Record for more information on this.
