A truly gorgeous miniature, with many aquamarine, fluorite, and black tourmailne crystals...all perched on a single feldspar crystal. The aquamarines are gemmy, the fluorites are green with purple phantoms and crazy beveled terminations, and the presentation of the entire piece is absolutely extraordinary. This is one of my favorites from the lot. More photos of this specimen

A gorgeous cabinet specimen featuring the best of Erongo...sweet green fluorite cubes with purple phantoms, a beautifully terminated aquamarine, several golden-smoky quartz points, weird botryoidal muscovite, and even some tourmaline needles...all on a bed of white and cream colored feldspar. A veritable smorgasbord of minerals from this famous locale! Specimens like this are few and far between. More photos of this specimen

A cute specimen of hyalite, with clear, yellowish-green botryoidal spheres coating the end of a schorl crystal, along with three nicely terminated (and tourmilated) clear quartz crystals. As you can see in the first photo, the opal fluoresces a brilliant green. More photos of this specimen

An unusual specimen of golden-smoky quartz crystals with microcline (being replaced by green fluorite with purple phantoms). This piece was particulary difficult to photograph, and it is far more fascinating than the pictures show. More photos of this specimen

A dense, lustrous cluster of tourmaline needles (almost a single crystal) sitting on a bed of gemmy, golden, smoky quartz crystals...many of which are double-terminated. Also, there is a small tuft of fluorescent hyalite opal at the base of the schorl. A very handsome piece indeed! More photos of this specimen

A large, hefty floater crystal with incredible luster and awesome termination. As you can see in photo 3, one of the three crystal edges has a chip (and the price relfects this), but this crystal is so cool, it hardly detracts from its beauty. Get it now...before I change my mind and keep it for myself!
Location: Erongo Mountains, Namibia Max Size: 3.86 in (98 mm) Weight: 1 lb 2.0 oz (510 g)
A massive, intergrown cluster of black tourmaline crystals. These are heavly etched in a way that produces a brilliant, shiny, silky, metallic luster (hard to capture in photos). A beautiful small cabinet piece that is mesmerizing to look at, especially when it's moved around in the light. More photos of this specimen
