The photos capture pretty well the incredible beauty and drama of this very unusual Erongo combo specimen. It is notable both as a plate of gemmy smoky quartz crystals, some of them on their side and showing terminations at both ends (!); but also for this sensational schorl crystal, with its mirror-like black faces. The schorl measures 3 cm. As you are probably aware, this is a very unusual Erongo specimen, and just plain beautiful.
