Item Description
A facinating, aesthetic and sculptural combination small cabinet from the Erongos. Gemmy, pretty blue aquamarines and lustrous black schorls are strikingly set on a single, bone-white, etched feldspar crystal. The doubly terminated gem aqua on the large schorl is 2.2 cm. The gemminess of these aquas is above average for the Erongos. Hyalite opal is scattered on both front and back of the piece. These fluoresce bright neon-green, but looks brilliant white in the photos, with the green reflecting off of the gemmy aquas! Even the feldspar has moderate red fluorescence! An very fine Erongo combination piece with very minimal periphery wear, which is certainly not a detraction. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
