Item Description

Premium plate of high-quality Aquamarines from the famous Erongo mountains. These lustrous Aquas average 2-3 cm in size, have classic gemmy terminations, and the color is very good. There are literally dozens of Aquamarines on the plate, and as you might imagine, several had been unavoidably broken off in the mining process. Fortunately, here is no visual impact due to the richeness of the plate and the quality of most of the crystals. There is even some Hyalite Opal for glowing pizazz under ultraviolet light. An engaging, very aesthetic cabinet specimen. valued $1000
