N2409 Beryl var. Aquamarine
A beautiful aquamarine specimen from Erongo; one of the interesting things about this locality is that while the different pegmatites and "holes" often produce the same species, their appearances can vary widely. Earlier in this update I have already posted the more common translucent, deep blue style, as well as the somewhat rarer transparent style from the neighboring hill. Here we have yet another style, from Erongo proper-- narrow elongated crystals, almost bordering on a sort of "jackstraw" arrangement.
The only demerit is for an indentation on the main crystal, where another once seems to have intersected it (but not broken)
