Item Description
This really neat and aesthetic, 360-degree, schorl crystal is dramatically accented with a hyalite opal field and a few side car schorls. The jet-black crystals have freaky good luster for an Erongo schorl. The bit of scattered contacting on the sides has very little impact to the exceptional quality of this miniature. This is a standout even amongst a large crowd of Erongo region schorls. This piece is NOT just another reference locality example. From the noted Erongo specialty collection of Heini Soltau. Neon-green opal fluorescence.
