This is a MAJOR Erongo specimen. This specimen is cabinet-sized. The large crystal you see measures 5 cm in length, and as you can see, has saturated blue color and is very gemmy at the business end. It and ALL the aquas are finely terminated, and have gemmy top halves. Black schorl tourmalines add an accent in various forms, including blocky crystals and slender needles.
