Item Description
Some of the best contemporary Aquamarine specimens are those from Erongo. Not only is the quality superb on many of these Aqua specimens, but the associations can make for some really stellar specimens. This piece features several razor sharp, very lustrous, GEM/gemmy, bright blue color Aquamarine crystals aesthetically flaring out of somewhat blocky and "Baveno"-twinned, cream colored Feldspar crystals. The largest Aqua crystal is completely damage free and measures 2.6 cm. A good specimen for size, aesthetics and color contrast. You don't see many Feldspar twins associated with this material, and the crystals actually have good luster, which is rare in my experience! Valued at $950 in the inventory
