Item Description

A beautifully aesthetic combination specimen from the August, 2009 find in the Erongos, not the Charlie Key dealer stock. A 4.4 cm, doubly terminated, aquamarine crystal with rich blue color and a very gemmy termination area is strikingly set in the crook of severely corroded feldspar crystals. Lustrous schorls and more aquas are partially hidden behind the aqua. A fine surprise on the back is a very nifty cluster of gemmy aquas to 2.0 cm. This very well constructed combination specimen has impressive 360-degree visual appeal. Valued at $1000-1250.
