Large Aquamarine, Schorl and Feldspar

Item Description

A stunning, superbly aesthetic, LARGE CABINET, combination specimen from recent Erongo finds. Glassy, gemmy and lustrous, rich blue, aquamarine crystals are strikingly scattered and clustered on all sides of the mounded matrix of lustrous, jet-black schorl crystals. The scultpural, capping crest of off-white feldspar is an outstanding accent. The largest aqua is 3.3 cm. The gemmy quality and rich blue color of these aquas is definitely above average for the locale. Complete all-around and really in good shape, overall: a broken schorl is on the back and out of sight; the large aqua has a trivial bit of termination edgewear; and a couple of broken/contacted smaller aquas are noted. These factors have very minimal impact on the overall quality. This is a visually impressive and sculptural large combination piece from this noted locale. Valued at $2000, and well worth it. A major spiker for this auction.
