An aesthetic and cute Erongo Mountains combination miniature. A gemmy, lustrous, lightly frosted, 2.1 cm, doubly terminated aquamarine crystal is jauntily perched on two, inter-grown, lustrous and striated schorl crystals. The stair-step termination on the aqua is neat and the tiny aqua is a nice accent. This showy piece has many displayable views and the contacted area on the schorl is certainly not a detraction. Ex. Charlie Key dealer stock.
