Item Description
EXCEPTIONAL, artistic, combination of Aquamarine, Smoky Quartz, and Schorl from the famous Erongo Mountains. Rarely do you fine these three in combination, and when you do, they are hardly ever in this quality. The Aquas are superb: excellent deep to light blue color, gemmy terminations, and glassy luster (faces and terminations). The largest of the Smokies is 6.6 cm, and doubly terminated! They are translucent and elegantly tapered. The Schorls add wonderful contrast, and they have excellent to slightly etched, luster. Overall, a killer: Aesthetic, unususal, and very starkly geometric and impressive in a case. Valued $2000-2500
