Description

This is new material from a small recent discovery. The crystals show a completely new color - it is sea-green with a nearly neon-effect; you have to see it in person to be able to appreciate it! I saw so many different habits, colors and combinations from Erongo, but this color is really a novelty. The contrast with snowy white Feldspat is very yey-catching and the assemble looks very aesthetic.
