Equamarine stone kohl container 88 grams

A kohl container (also known as a surma or kajal jar), crafted from aquamarine—a pale blue-green variety of beryl mineral—to hold powdered kohl, an eyeliner cosmetic used across the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia for both beauty and eye protection against dust and infection. The rectangular, flask-like form with a faceted lid is a luxurious variant. Key Features: • Material and Craftsmanship: Solid aquamarine, semi-translucent with cloudy inclusions and natural fractures. The stopper integrates seamlessly, possibly with an internal applicator rod for kohl application. • Cultural Context: Kohl containers like this were often worn as jewelry, with the lid doubling as a stick for lining eyes. Aquamarine added symbolic value—believed to promote clarity and protection—elevating it from utilitarian to ornamental.
