Item Description
Spectacular Aqua & Schorl on Orthoclase combination piece from the famous Erongo Mountains. The luster and color on these Aquas are superb - about as good as you are going to find. The main crystal is 4.9 cm long, and the termination is gemmy for nearly a full cm! There is just a bit of edgwear, and a few crystals had been lost in the mining process, but with the main crystals still there, and being so beautiful, the overall aesthetics are hard to match. This was priced at $1,000, and compared to many others we saw for sale of lesser quality that was a very fair price. Upper class all the way, with INCREDIBLE brightness and luster.
