Item Description
A showy and excellent cluster of rare, heliodor-tipped aquamarine crystals from a recent one-time find in the Erongo Mountains. The striking, large crystal is doubly terminated with heliodor at both ends, has good color and the typically crackling interior becomes gemmier at both ends. The smaller sidecar crystals are much lighter colored, a pastel-blue, but still have the heliodor tips. Trivial, barely noticeable termination edgewear on the front and contacting on the back are noted, but have very modest impact on the overall presentation of this very uncommon and fine example of the species. RARE material, overall! Valued $400-500. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock.
