Comments:
I love this piece!!
Namibia has a habit of producing some really amazing combination mineral specimens. This one features several prominent, undamaged aquamarine crystals and clusters, just BURSTING out of a crystallized chunk of white feldspar matrix. There are very small black tourmaline crystals sparsely throughout. There is even a mystery mineral! There's a brownish crystal shaped like a shark fin coming out of one side.
