Item Description
A rare and showy combination specimen from the Erongo Mountains. Pretty, translucent, lustrous, lightly etched, bi-colored, fluorite cuboctahedrons are nicely complimented by glassy, crackly, colorless, hexagonal goshenite crystals, as a tight cluster at one end or as the nifty 1.5 cm isolated crystal. A tiny schorl crystal field is below the goshenites and the matrix is covered with tiny quartz needles AND a bit of hyalite opal on the backside (super lime-green fluorescence). Goshenite beryls are relatively rare from the Erongos and to find them in an excellent combo piece, especially so. Valued at $400-500
