Description

Beautiful combination of blue-grey aquamarine and shiny green fluorite from Erongo.

The length of the main aquamarine is 3.5 cm. When you take a closer look at the specimen you can find more than 20 small aquamarines hidden in the fluorites - but of course not all of them are completed.

The fluorite "cover" consits of lustrous green crystals in nice condition. The transparency is quiet good, so on one side you can see through onto the feldspar hidden behind.
