Item Description
Striking, super-sharp Aquamarine combo piece from Erongo. This 3 cm Aqua has very good color and superb luster, as well as a good termination. What sets it above many other Erongo Aquas is that the entire upper half is gemmy, not just the normal 1 cm or so. It is associated with euhedral Feldspar, a sharp 1.2 cm Quartz crystal, and brightly-fluorescent Hyalite Opal. One back corner of the Aqua is contacted, but it does not affect the presentation side. Overall, this is a superb miniature.
