Item Description
These are easily some of the most unique and unusual looking combination specimens from the Erongo Mountains. The translucent beryls in this aesthetic jackstraw cluster have frosted, colorless (goshenite) bodies and the terminations are gemmy, blue-green. Nests of acicular schorl crystals and scattered green fluorite cubes to 5 mm are striking compliments. The long beryl is 4.5 cm. Specimens from this obscure Erongo locale are seldom on the market. From the noted Erongo specialty collection of Heini Soltau. Valued at $500-750.
