Item Description

MOST Erongo specimens are going to be all about the aquamarine...that is after all what the locality is famous for. Here, however, we have a specimen that is a world class crystal of the sharpest and most lustrous schorl tourmaline you could ask for, perched on a nice aqua matrix. The Aquamarine is simply the perch, on which the important focal crystal here grows out of! The schorl is razor sharp, jet black, super lustrous, and approximately 3 x 3 x 3 cm in size. I know, we have all seen Erongo Schorls...but this is something different. Photos cannot capture the luster at all. Watch the video!
