Item Description
An absolutely elegant combination plate from the Erongo Mountains. Exceptionally gemmy, water-clear, light blue, aquas to 2.4 cm, are aesthetically accented with lustrous, schorls, one set in an aqua termination. The aquas are centrally placed on a sculptural plate of etched, white feldspar crystals interspersed with smoky quartz crystals. The gemminess of these aquas is WAY above average for the Erongos. The nifty, 2.5 cm, smoky on the edge is partially cloaked with hyalite opal and there is a spot of opal on an aqua termination. These fluoresce bright neon-green, but looks stark white in the photo, with the green reflecting off of the gemmy aquas! An OUTSTANDING Erongo combination piece.
