Jeremejevite from Ameib Farm 60, Namibia
Ameib Farm 60 is one of the decisive modern localities for collectible jeremejevite: a place where a mineral once known to most collectors only as a near-mythical rarity suddenly appeared as lustrous, transparent to translucent, prismatic crystals with blue, violet-blue, lavender-blue, and colorless zoning. The best Ameib crystals have the look collectors want immediately—slender hexagonal prisms, glassy luster, sharp or complex pyramidal terminations, and that unmistakable Namibian color: cool blue at the base or along part of the prism, fading toward colorless or pale yellowish tips.
