A fine combination specimen from the new find in August, 2009 in the Erongo Mountains. The gemmy and lustrous aquamarines have robust blue color and as usual, the termination areas are very gemmy. The stunning crystal at the peak is 2.7 cm. The schorls are very lustrous, striated and jet-black. The two large primary crystals are pristine, while their nearby compatriots having trivial bruising.
