Erongo Mountain aquas are typically no match for the far more common ones from Pakistan and Brazil, so the good ones are prized. This one is REALLY large for the locality and has fine form, and is complete and undamaged! The main crystal rises 6.5 inches to the perfect termination. Looking down through the c-axis you can see the gemmy interior.
