Item Description
Superb combination piece, featuring a large (2.6 cm across!), attractive Aquamarine with very good luster, good color, and a gemmy termination. That by itself would be desirable, but you combine the Aqua with first-rate pseudos of Goethite after Siderite (up to 1.3 cm on edge), add some Schorl, and you have an absolute killer specimen. The sheer aesthetics of this combination is enthralling. One of my favorite Erongo pieces as it seems so unique. Even better in person.
