You have seen quartz from the Erongo Mountains, and beryls (blue beryls, or aquamarines, that is), but this is a very unusual specimen of colorless (the rarest color!) beryl on a LARGE, silky quartz crystal. The beryl compound crystal is lustrous, complete and terminated, and measures 1.5 cm. It has a very light tan color.
