Item Description

Striking, highly unusual and uncommon, bi-colored aquamarine crystals are aesthetically strewn on the sculptural CABINET mounded matrix of lustrous, needle schorl crystals on this very showy specimen from a recent find in the Erongo Mountains. The aquas, to 3.1 cm, have gemmy, light mint-green terminations above lustrous, translucent, straw-green bodies. Green is a rare color for Erongo aquas. The needle schorls really sparkle and are a fine compliment to the aquas. All of the major aquas are pristine on this excellent and uncommon, two-sided specimen.
