Item Description
Erongo Aquas are highly desired and well-respected, as evidenced by the Aqua that was placed on the cover of the Erongo special issue of Min Record. This piece features a sharp and lustrous 4.2 cm Aqua on matrix. The Aqua is a nice medium blue, the lustrous crystal faces are gently striated, and the upper cm of the crystal is completely gemmy. There is only one very small ding on the termination, but it has little effect on the overall aesthetics or quality of this fine Aqua, which is a great mniature for the locale
