A very neat and classic Erongo specimen with deep blue aquamarine on smoky quartz. This specimen also (quite uniquely) features a singular fluorite crystal which is floating loose (!!) inside the quartz “vug” seen towards the middle left of the specimen. The fluorite formed here and detached from the quartz, leaving it trapped. Very cool! Includes custom base.
