Item Description
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 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 2.2 cm long. This is an EXCELLENT and VERY RICH plate, nicely accented with lustrous, black schorl crystal clusters. Valued at $600.
