Item Description
Erongo Aquas are some of the richest blue colored gem crystals you'll find from any locality. They are noteworthy for their superior luster, size, gemminess and that gorgeous color. This stout single prism has incredibly lustrous faces with good gemminess / translucency and that intense blue hue. The crystal is not without damage, as it is contacted on the base, and there are a several little nicks and even a few indentations on the prism faces here and there. With that said, it's still a good example of this material and would make a nice addition to any gem crystal suite or a collection of Beryls. These crystals are much more saturated in color than their cousins from Pakistan, and show superior crystallization to their counterparts from Brazil, so you get the best of both worlds in terms of quality and color. From the Collection of Shields Flynn.
