$880
A beautiful Erongo aquamarine, this one has a rather distinct appearance from the "usual" Erongo specimens, because it is actually from the neighboring "hill" in the Erongo Mountain*s*-- Rondeclip. Rondeclip is the source of the day fluorescent hyalite opal, and the large, lustrous schorl tourmalines that have been around the last 2-3 years. While the majority of production has been those two minerals, aquamarine is also found there-- they tend to be more transparent than the ones from neighboring Erongo. This is a beautiful combination specimen a number of lustrous schorl crystals clinging to a terminated aqua. Minor edge wear on some of the schorl.
Not your usual Erongo aquamarine!
Because of the contrast between the transparent blue aquamarine and the black schorl, the photography is a bit difficult. This video gives a better idea of the specimen: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-SKMQixhzx/
