Gems of Gilgit-Baltistan Pakistan Pakistan has gained a prominent position in the international market for supplying a wide variety of gemstones and mineral specimens. The Gilgit-Baltistan of Pakistan is enriched with the variety of mineral treasures that include peridot, emerald, aquamarine, tourmaline, topaz, ruby, sapphire, garnet, red spinal, pargasite, actinolite, diopside, epidote, vesuvianite, axinite, rodingite, sphene, fluorite, apatite, zircon, rutile, azurite, moonstone, ametrvst, rose quartz and agate. Gilgit-Baltistan Pakistan is composed of three lofty, snow-covered mountain ranges: Himalaya, Hindu Kush and Karakoram. These geomorphic features reflect the geological setting which, in many respects, is unique in the world. These ranges were formed as result of two collisions between India and Asia that occurred between 100 and 50 Ma (million years) ago. These collisions have induced crustal thickening in these mountains, which has resulted in metamorphism and multiple p...

Geography: Gilgit has an area of 38,000 square kilometers (14,672 sq mi). The region is significantly mountainous, lying on the foothills of the Karakoram mountains, and has an average altitude of 1,500 meters (4,900ft). It is drained by the Indus River, which rises in the neighboring regions of Ladakh and Baltistan. The Gilgit-Baltistan borders the Wakhan corridor of Afghanistan to the northwest, China's Uygur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang to the northeast, the Indian-controlled state of Jammu and Kashmir to the south and southeast, the Pakistani-controlled state of Azad Jammu and Kashmir to the south, and Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province to the west. Geological Importance: The Karakoram and the Himalayas are important to Earth scientists for several reasons. They are one of the world's most geologically active areas, at the boundary between two colliding continents. Therefore, they are important in the study of plate tectonics. Mountain gl...

If we go through the history of Gilgit Baltistan there were a number of small independent states existed in the history of northern areas of Pakistan among them Hunza and nature were the traditional rival states, situated on opposite sides of the Hunza River. The rulers of these two states known as Thamor/Mir have built various strong holds to express their power. The hunza rulers initially resided in the fort but later as a result of a conflict between the two sons of the ruler sultan shah abbas and Ali khan, shah abbas ( in balti they called shaboos) shifted to the Baltit fort making it the capital seat of hunza. The power fight among the two brothers ultimately resulted in the death of younger one and so Baltit fort further established itself as the prime seat of power in the hunza state. The rich beauty of Baltit fort can be traced to over seven hundred years ago. The structure of Baltit fort was influenced by Ladakh/Tibetan architecture with some resemblance to the Potala ...
