Item Description
A dramatic and sculptural beryl and schorl combination specimen from the recent one-time find in the Erongos and the Charlie Key dealer stock. The colorful, bi-colored beryls have gemmy, blue-green terminations above the lustrous bodies, that are almost heliodor beryl or goshenite. The two, upright, striking beryl smokestacks are 3.4 and 1.8 cm. The two, intergrown, doubly terminated, beryls at the base are 4.6 cm long. The sculptural matrix of scintillating, acicular schorl needles is a stark and beautiful compliment. I really like the form and composition of this nifty and rare Erongo combo piece.
