Item Description
This is certainly about the most fantastically different, yet very aesthetic two-sided Erongo aquamarine combinations we have offered at auction. Which is the front?? Four very gemmy light blue aqua crystals to 2.5 cm are dramatically attached to the sides of a coated hexagonal matrix and flanked by glassy quartz crystals. The other side strikingly reveals that the coated hexagonal crystal is actually an epimorph/cast of feldspar after a larger dissolved aquamarine crystal with the interior filled with gemmy aqua crystals! This side does have contacting and a broken quartz crystal, but the differences are stunning! The large aquas and large quartz crystals are pristine. Perhaps a unique Erongo aqua and quartz small cabinet. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
