A fine and contemporary classic combination specimen from recent finds in the Erongo Mountains of Namibia. A gemmy and lustrous aquamarine crystal with good color is very nicely accented with lustrous schorl crystals, a smaller aquamarine and very well-placed pieces of orthoclase. The aquamarine crystal has a much larger gemmy section, than you normally see in Erongo aquamarines. The piece is in excellent shape. The termination is pristine.
