Simply incredible specimen from Alibad, Hunza Valley, Pakistan. There's a nice cluster of small pyrite crytals
on one side and the whole is covered with a light purple-pink mineral that I'm not sure what it is. Because of the color,
I originally thought it might be kunzite, but spodumene isn't known from this location. However, both sapphire and spinel
are and they both are found in a similiar color at this location, so I'm betting that it's one or the other. Approx.
size: 52x44x21 Weight: 55.26 grams
