Item Description

Goshenite is the clear, colorless version of Beryl, and it often has an internally crazed appearance in the larger crystals from Erongo. Not so here. These slender Goshenites, which range up to .9 cm in length, are very gemmy and lustrous. Perched all along the length of the Schorl crystal, these little gems create a beautiful and sculptural specimen that I have not seen the equal of for this combo. A very fine toenail - delicate and aesthetic. Better in person.
