Description

What a crazy piece! It is from a small and unique discovery. The thin free-standing crystals show a very intense, strong saturation, the assemble reminds to a coral reef! All crystals are end-pointed, not even one is broken, the contrast is spectacular. There are so many Aquas from Erongo - but they all have the same style and character - this one really stands out. Although it is small - it represents something unique and looks completely different to all other material from entire Erongo.
