Scattered dark mineral inclusions and areas of minor iron staining add detail through the lower section, while the termination remains comparatively clear and reflective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aquamarine is quite appealing. Numerous elongated, hexagonal crystals radiate around the quartz from several directions, ranging from small delicate points through to much larger prismatic crystals. Their colour is a very pale icy blue\/green, with good translucency and strong longitudinal striations. Several retain sharply defined terminations, and the larger crystals create considerable depth around the specimen rather than sitting flat against the quartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse is especially impressive, where the aquamarine becomes the dominant feature and forms a dense cluster around the quartz. From the front, the arrangement is much more restrained, allowing the smoky quartz to remain the visual centre while individual aquamarines emerge around its edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis classic Erongo mineral association is particularly successful in its composition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Liminal Stone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52803133210756,"sku":"I-10","price":325.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/1815\/4628\/files\/5566D798-7079-4CD9-AC36-78FE44601F34.jpg?v=1789176972","url":"https:\/\/www.theliminalstone.com\/products\/quartz-with-aquamarine-erongo-namibia","provider":"The Liminal Stone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
