A beautiful old-style crystal of aquamarine from the Erongo Mountains. This specimen features excellent deeply saturated blue color. While more recent finds have produced gemmier examples, the deep color of these earlier aquamarines is iconic. I prefer this style, myself. Very nice.

Aquamarine from Erongo Mountains, Namibia
from the Erongo Mountains has a look that collectors recognize immediately: cool blue to blue-green beryl, often standing in crisp hexagonal prisms from a jet-black nest of schorl tourmaline, with white feldspar or microcline providing the third color in the composition. The best pieces are not merely loose gem crystals; they are complete pegmatite mini-landscapes, built in miarolitic cavities where beryl, tourmaline, feldspar, quartz, fluorite, topaz, hyalite opal, and other late-stage minerals crystallized into open space.
