Aquamarine with Schorl and Fluorite on Feldspar from Erongo Mountains, Namibia [db_pics/pics/k-104b.jpg]

This specimen is "elegant" in every sense. It features a slender but super quality aqua, 3.5 cm long, perched gently on a sharply angled feldspar crystal decorated with schorl and fluorite. Just a really fine piece that stands out from the crowd of Erongo pieces!

Aquamarine on Smoky Quartz from Erongo Mountains, Namibia [db_pics/pics/k-105c.jpg]

Great combination piece with several aquas perched amidst a cluster of smoky quartz! The larger aqua is 2.5 cm and has a sceptred termination pointing front. The smaller aqua is about 2 cm and features a stunning, gemmy, sharply bevelled prismatic termination. The piece as a whole is very bright and 3-dimensional, and I think its a good deal for the price.

Aquamarine with Feldspar from Erongo Mountains, Namibia [db_pics/pics/k-107a.jpg]

This elegant cluster has a lot of pizzazz, with sharp, lustrous, very gemmy (for Erongo material) aquas shooting every which way! VERY 3-dimensional in person.

Aquamarine from Erongo Mountains, Namibia [db_pics/pics/k-108d.jpg]

A very "juicy" cluster with about the richest blue color you can ask for in an Erongo aqua, moreintense blue even than pakistani aquamarine material. It has an inner brightness to it that intensifies the color, and extremely good lustre. VERY 3-dimensional in person....the pics do not quite convey how dramtic it is.

Aquamarine with Schorl from Erongo Mountains, Namibia [db_pics/pics/k-109c.jpg]

Several slender, exceptionally gemmy aquamarine crystals perched jauntily on a crystal of etched feldspar, and with a sharp schorl at its base. VERY elegant miniature of competition quality and a good deal for the price, i would think

Aquamarine (unusual flat plate) with Schorl from Erongo Mountains, Namibia [db_pics/pics/k-112b.jpg]

A most unusual plate, like none others I have seen from here, with incredibly lustrous crystals that are unusually squat. They are all solidly interjoined and connected into a thin plate that is complete all around.

A stunning combination piece with a 2 inch aqua perched diagonally and in contrast to one of the most lustrous schorls you will ever see! I think the pics say it all!

One of those strange Erongo combos! This piece features sharp matte-green fluorite crystals perched smartly upon zoned goshenites!

This is the best large piece we have seen in about a flat's worth of this material, which Charlie had stashed. It is one of those strange Erongo combos! This piece features sharp matte-green fluorite crystals perched smartly upon zoned goshenites to about an inch!

This specimen is notable both for the doubly-terminated goshenite and also for the richness of the hyalite opal, which glows intensely in ultraviolet light and is quite rare from here.

Heliodor Beryl from Erongo Mountains, Namibia [db_pics/pics/k-174b.jpg]

A big fat crystal with intense beer-color, quite unusual, from a recent find in the Erongos like none ever seen before. These are REALLY intensely colored, and stand out in a case! The tips are gemmy and glassy, but the side edges almost always show matte surface, which may be due to a change in chemistry during growth. This is one of the largest single crystals from the find that Charlie was aware of.

Another unusual combo piece, this one particularly well-balanced and with a very gemmy goshenite, and large fluorite for the find as well!
