A very fine cluster of jeremejevite with a 4.1-cm central crystal. This is fairly large for the species, to get a terminated crystal. The sidecars at the base add more mass to the piece, making this a fine miniature a bit different from other specimens which are generally singles (from either major locality, Erongo or Swakopmund) .
