A cute and aesthetic Erongo toenail of a gemmy and lustrous aquamarine crystal, with a typically very gemmy termination, very nicely accented by a jackstraw cluster of lustrous, jet-black schorl crystals and resting on a bit of contrasting feldspar. This is essentially a damage-free, showy specimen.
