This superb miniature is one of the most dramatic Erongo Aquamarines I have yet handled. It is a complete-all-around, perfect, spray of well-balanced crystals. They have robust color and an unusually fine gemminess, and internal brightness, to them. The tips are all pristine, and very slightly included with a dusting of schorl which offsets them nicely.
