I received this today from a friend in Skardu, North Pakistan, which is famous for its Aquamarines. Probably one of the most beautiful pieces I have come across, greenish blue.

Yes these file types are generally obsolete and no longer a widely supported file format.

Yep, very pretty stone, and as of yet, unheated. I actually like the unheated green - blue aqua color. It does look more like beautifil ocean water. Often the good blue colors look more like treated blue topaz.
