This is an absolutely amazing specimen. It is one of the top aquamarine crystals from Erongo – very few have been this size, it is sharp, deep aqua-blue, with glassy lustre and a gorgeous, slightly-stepped termination. The termination faces look like they were cut from blue glass. It is a figured specimen, photographed in Lapis […]

This is a striking pair of aquamarine crystals with smaller crystals in association. The upper parts of the crystals are transparent, glassy, and underscore the “aqua” in aquamarine – a beautiful light aqua hue (and of course deeper, looking down into the crystals from their terminations). Lower on the piece (and on the edge of […]

This large green octahedral fluorite crystal towers over the smaller fluorite crystals low on the piece, making for an incredibly aesthetic display piece. The main fluorite crystal is 4.9 cm tip-to-tip. In excellent condition – low on the left, one smaller crystal is contacted, where it grew against adjacent pocket wall fluorite. From the Gerald […]

This is a large Tsumeb azurite crystal! The crystal is complete and undamaged – it grew in a tight space where it only had enough space to develop as it did. Intergrown with cerussite lower on the piece, this crystal is 7.9 cm tip-to-tip. Under strong light, the intense azure blue colour is readily apparent, […]

The crystals are a gorgeous deep azure-blue – under strong light, the intense colour is seen in the outer areas of the large crystal, while the smaller crystals appear to be fully translucent-to-transparent. These azurite crystals are sharp with […]

A fantastic specimen of Tsumeb dioptase. The crystals are the most intense green and the top lustre, perched on contrasting white calcite crystals. The dioptase crystals are vivid and glassy, with internal reflections – the larger crystals are translucent and the smaller ones are transparent, green gems. In excellent condition for its size – looks […]

Detailed Description This cabinet specimen features rosettes, books and clusters of individual fuchsite crystals, associated with quartz crystals and a few rutile crystals. From the 2009 find, this is a remarkable piece – there weren’t very many in any case, and most of those were small and not in this league. The colour at a […]
