Item Description
The artistic quality of this aesthetic Erongo combination piece is very fine. A 2.1 cm, doubly terminated, gem, aqua crystal is dramatically perched on the front of a very well placed, 2.1 cm lustrous schorl with an etched termination. The setting of the other aquas and schorls on the complete all-around, etched feldspar crystal adds much sculptural visual appeal. There is a 2.6 cm DT aqua in the lower cluster, along with the 2.3 cm fat aqua. The few aquas on the right side of the lower cluster with broken tips are barely noticeable. A real BONUS on the backside is the crown on nubby hyalite opal on the feldspar, which has super lime-green fluorescence. A high quality combination miniature from the Erongos.
