Schorl, Smoky Quartz, Hyalite Opal
Erongo Mountains, Erongo, Namibia
11 cm x 7.6 cm x 6.3 cm
Here is an exquisite multi mineral specimen from this region.
Beautiful large jet black schorl with complex terminations,
is attached to a cluster of numerous smoky quartz crystals that are so very clean.
Coating about half of the smoky quartz, is what appears to be three different Hyalite Opal forms.
The hyalite that is right on the surface of the quartz, is druzy in nature and included possibly with hematite giving it a copper coloring.
The second form are elongated, spindly in nature, more white in coloring, which some also have micro purple fluorite crystals within.
The third is more bubbly and clean the looking, this has good daylight fluorescence, but all the Hyalite has very strong uv fluorescence.
The is a very dramatic looking specimen, very three dimensional with zero damage.
The backside has come contact areas, but the front side is pristine!
A high quality specimen!
