An AESTHETIC and SUPERB Erongo Mountains combination specimen! A gemmy and lustrous, 3.7 cm, intense blue aquamarine crystal is jauntily perched on the side of a highly lustrous, doubly terminated, etched schorl crystal. The two crystals are beautifully complimented by a bit of microcline. Typical for many Erongo aquas, the termination area is extremely gemmy. This is an OUTSTANDING and pristine example of the species from this famous locality.
