Jeremejevite (ex Charlie Key Collection)

Item Description

Jeremejevite is a rare gem Borate mineral that is typically yellow, but the famous Erongo Region in Namibia has produced the finest blue crystals of the species extant. The locality is a pegmatite directly on the beach in Namibia, (see this link for a photo: http://www.mindat.org/photo-129179.html), and has produced very little in the way of Jeremejevite in recent years. This specimen is a very attractive, very gemmy, SHARP and LUSTROUS crystal with a beautiful blue color. The crystal is not etched, like so many crystals of this material, and is a superb example of the species based upon the quality. For the size and the gemminess, this is certainly a worthwhile specimen for a gem crystal collector. Ex Charlie Key collection.
