We have an extensive inventory 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, Namibia, Vietnam and the US.

Flawless, brilliant light blue Aquamarines with Orthoclase Feldspar, a very fine group and excellent example of gem crystals found in pegmatites. This is from 15,000 feet above sea level in the Hindu Kush range of the Himalayas. Many display angles. Museum quality. From the collection of Gene Meiran.
Matrix of snow-white Feldspar crystals with several terminated, gemmy Aquamarines and Quartz crystals. Classic example of a pegmatite gem pocket, museum quality. It is difficult to aquire such specimens these days.
Very nice matrix of Albite crystals with numerous well-colored aquamarine xls and a columbite. I like especially the small secret pocket of feldspar crystals on the bottom of this specimen, resembling a small cave. From the classic Shigar Valley in Pakistan.

From the Himalayas at 14,000 feet comes this flawless, terminated Quartz crystal that has been naturally corroded to reveal fascinating patterns on it's exterior. We sold this to Dave Daniel ten years ago and
as he concentrates his collection on US pegmatite minerals, we are selling this again.
A very hard to get combination, two well formed dark red Spessartite Garnets in very well crystallized snow white Albite that is in a parallel formation.
