Item Description
A spectacular combination specimen from the Erongos. A large, lustrous, sharply terminated, schorl crystal is dramatically capped by a 2.8 cm, gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored blue and yellow-green aquamarine crystal, a 3.4 cm schorl with smaller schorls, another 2.2 cm schorl embedded in the large schorl termination and a starkly contrasting, etched, twinned, feldspar crystal. More feldspars at the base of the piece are a colorful accessory and compliment. From the noted Erongo specialty collection of Heini Soltau.
