Item Description
Erongo Mountains of Namibia is well known for fine aquamarine specimens, sometimes for aquamarine and schorl in combination, and occasionally for world class schorl tourmaline crystals on their own merit. This is such a piece - a dramatic isolated crystal to 6 cm across, sitting perched and isolated on contrasting matrix. No clutter, just crystallized sharpness and a precision that is seldom seen on these. The termination is fantastic, as lustrous as you can get. When you look closely at the apparently simple termination, you see subtle details and embellishments along the edges. The piece is clean, dramatic, and complete all around. For what it is, given the size and visual impact, a significant specimen. We have seen smaller examples of this very precise, sharp style for sale recently at 2-4k at shows, but not such large pieces as this.
