Item Description

An amazingly sculptural and rare large combination from the Erongos. You have seen a multitude of the aquamarines from the Erongo Mountains in Namibia - but how many GOSHENITES (colorless beryl, as opposed to blue aquamarine) have you seen from here? These have smooth, glassy faces with crackly tan interiors, and not a bit of blue color to be seen; they are true goshenites (a lot rarer than aquas). The biggest crystal here is 1.7 cm long and they are richly scattered. The incredible matrix with the striking hole is solid intergrown schorl crystals up to about 5.5 cm long. This is a marvelous and rare large combination from the Charlie Key dealer stock. Valued at $1500.
