Item Description
An impressive and uncommon large combination specimen from the Erongos. Striking, frosted, translucent, very light blue beryl crystals have gemmy, yellow-green helidor termination areas. The well-placed beryls are up to 3.5 cm long. The solid, very vuggy, mounded matrix is composed solidly of sparkly schorl needles with rich areas of glassy smoky quartz points. This is certainly a facinating and rare large combination from the Erongos. All of the beryl crystals are pristine. Seldom available in this combination is this large size and quality. From the noted Erongo specialty collection of Heini Soltau. 1771 grams or 3.9 pounds mass. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!! Value???
