Item Description
Extremely limpid, gemmy termination areas characterize the pretty blue aquamarine crystals of this very aesthetic combination specimen from the August, 2009 find in the Erongos. The aquas are set in a showy jackstraw pattern amongst the schorls and bit of snow-white feldspar. The large aqua is 2.4 cm. Very trivial termination wear is noted on most of the aquas. A broken aqua and a schorl are also noted. This remains a highly representative and beautiful example of the find. The gemminess is definitely in the upper echelon of Erongo aquas. Fairly valued at $300. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
