AF158 - Quartz on Schorl $ 250 Erongo Mountains, Namibia miniature - 5 x 4 x 3 cm 
Smokey Quartz on a very lustrous Schorl crystal. There is plenty of Erongo Schorl on the market, but this piece stands out to me for the great luster of the Schorl and the aesthetic placement of the Quartz crystals. Very clean ofdamage (just a couple tiny nicks), high quality, and the Schorl is recrystallized on the backside too, a floater. A very good specimen!
