Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Beryl (Var.: Aquamarine), Schorl
Locality: Erongo Mountain, Usakos and Omaruru Districts, Erongo Region, Namibia (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 8.7 x 7.3 x 6.8 cm.
From the new find of August 2009. This is a dramatic, space-filling, 3-dimensional specimen that can be displayed 360-degrees around. A thick crystallized matrix of white feldspar is surmounted by splendent, black schorl crystals, to 2.5 cm in length, from which shoot out a number of glassy and gemmy, rich blue aquamarines. Three gem-tipped smaller aquamarines present as accents are dominated by the 6 x 3 x 2.5 cm robust crystal that sits in the center of the specimen. It is among the glassiest in the find, and is very thick yet quite gemmy. The termination of the large aqua crystal is nearly pristine, despite its exposure.
