Aquamarines from the Erongo Mountains of Namibia

Aquamarines from the Erongo Mountains of Namibia are a relatively new item on the mineral market.  This grouping of fine miniatures shows what all the excitement is about.  I find these crystals more aesthetic and interesting than those from Pakistan.  They are gem grade in most cases with a more included appearance lower in the crystal.  In double terminated crystals both ends are often very gemmy.  Combination minerals include highly etched to well formed albite, schorl, quartz, titanite, zircon, fluorite and others.  These pieces are all damage free specimens which display very well.  None of these specimens are repaired.
