Time Left:Auction Is Closed
- Size:4.0 x 2.3 x 1.7 cm
- Size Description:Miniature
Description:A smaller aquamarine from the same pocket as the above specimen, this one a perfectly balanced miniature. Again, it has a superb, very glassy and wetlooking luster, combined with good transparency. This piece has unusual inclusions of minute schorls within the aqua termination, just floating there like flies in amber. It seems as if something shocked this pocket as the aquamarines grew, setting loose pocket debris which was then included into the aquamarines as they finished growing (bits of feldspars in the piece above, schorls in this piece). Valued $600-750. From the noted Erongo specialty collection of Heini Soltau
