Especially gemmy and intensely blue aquamarine crystals aesthetically set jackstraw fashion on feldspar matrix with lustrous, etched schorl crystal make for a SUPERB and AESTHETIC combination specimen from the famous Erongo Mountains of Namibia. The two large schorls are doubly terminated and interestingly, the upper terminations are etched, while the lower terminations are sharp. The large schorl is 3.0 cm. The aqua crystal quality is WAY ABOVE AVERAGE for typical Erongo aquas. ALL of the major crystals are pristine. Ex. Charlie Key Collection.
