This aesthetic aqua miniature features a large vertical crystal and another veering off the left side at a dramatic 45 degree angle. The aquas are particularly glassy and gemmy, with a rich blue color - especially for this locality. The largest aqua measures 4.5 cm in length. A few Tiny wilbers on the edges of the aqua terminations are hardly noticeable and the piece is really as near to pristine as you can normally ask. The sliver of white feldspar matrix also hosts splendent, black schorl crystals to 1.5 cm in length....a wonderful contrast characteristic of this pocket from august of 2009

A complex jackstraw cluster of glassy and gemmy, richly-colored blue aquas is emplaced on a sliver of white feldspar matrix. The largest crystal, measuring 5 cm across, is doubly-terminated and almost at right angles to the other aquas. As is common with aquas from this deposit, tiny, insignificant wilbers are on some of the terminal edges but do not detract much visually and are hard to spot. Overall this is a very geometric piece, and displays well

White, feldspar matrix is host to lustrous, black schorl crystals to 2.5 cm in length; and two glassy and gemmy, rich blue aquas to 4.0 cm in length. The largest schorl is also doubly terminated. A few insignificant, tiny wilbers are on the edges of the terminal aqua faces as with many from this pocket. The contrast, the mix of forms and colors, is striking , on this very elegant miniature!

A thick aqua crystal, measuring 3.1 cm in height, is associated with massive white feldspar and tiny, splendent, black schorl crystals on the back side. The aqua is glassy and gemmy, a rich blue color; and is nearly pristine. The termination is transparent! A stout, intense burst of color in this fine miniature

Emplaced on a small matrix of white feldspar is a cluster of splendent, black schorl crystals to 1.5 cm across. Aesthetically perched on and leaping up from the schorl are glassy and gemmy, richly colored blue aquas, to 5.1 cm in length. The terminations of the aquas are transparent and they are nearly pristine, with just a few small dings. The piece is very 3-dimensional and elegant

Most of the 15 or so glassy and gemmy, intensely colored, blue aquamarine crystals rise vertically from a schorl and feldspar matrix. However, the largest of these aquas lies horizontally across the smack-dab middle specimen. It is doubly-terminated, and 5.9 cm in length, and beautiful. The schorls have good luster, are black and reach 2.0 cm in length. I really am impressed that almost all the aquas are terminated , with very little wear.

A combination of smoky quartz and white feldspar forms the matrix of this specimen. Emplaced on the matrix are smoky quartz crystals, to 1 cm in length; and splendent, black schorls to 2.0 cm across . The essentially vertical aqua crystals, to 3.0 cm in length stand up from that pedestal. The aquas are glassy and gemmy with a rich blue color and transparent terminations. Very 3-dimensional and space-filling specimen

This matrix specimen is exquisite because of its geometry: four essentially vertical , slender gem aquas are perched on a horizontal aqua crystal, measuring 3.5 cm across. The crystals are glassy and gemmy and exhibit a rich blue color. The aqua terminations are totally transparent and all are nearly pristine. Elegant and beautiful!

This single crystal of glassy and gemmy, rich blue, aqua has tiny, splendent, black schorl crystals at its base and on the termination. In addition, two prism faces show the interesting negative impression of another crystal at its base. Super textbook example of a good aqua, and priced far less fro mthis locality in such quality, than it would be from Pakistan or Brazil

Growing on and around a cluster of splendent, black schorls to 1.8 cm across, are glassy and gemmy, rich blue aquas to 4.1 cm in length. The largest aqua is also doubly terminated. All the aqua terminations are transparent and although some have very minor chips on the terminal edges , you have to look really close to see them. Unusual in the dramatic combination, and the way the aquas shoot out from teh schorl matrix.

On a sliver of white feldspar matrix, is perched a cluster of glassy and gemmy, rich blue aquas to 3.8 cm in length. The terminations are all extremely transparent and glassy. Overall, although small perhaps compared to other pieces and more expensive pieces here, this is one of my absolute favorites and is truly a little "jewel" of highest quality!

This is a richly hued blue aqua with glassy luster and an extremely gemmy termination. The color is darker than most, here. The base of the crystal is a healed termination, thus making this crystal doubly-terminated. Typical minor chipping on the crystal edges of Erongo aquas has occurred but it does not materially affect the specimen. Small, splendent, black schorl crystals can be found at the base of the specimen. Dramatic, at a good price point!
