埃龙戈山
Erongo, Namibia
纳米比亚的埃龙戈山是首屈一指的现代宝石伟晶岩与晶洞花岗岩产地,以海蓝宝石、黑电气石与稀有的硼铝石著称。
The Erongo Mountains of central Namibia are internationally renowned among collectors for the aesthetic quality of their pegmatite minerals — above all aquamarine, jet-black schorl tourmaline and rare jeremejevite.
Pegmatites of a volcanic complex
The granite-hosted pegmatites of the Erongo Volcanic Complex yield a wide variety of fine minerals. A series of discoveries from 1999 onward produced some of the best Namibian aquamarine, schorl and jeremejevite ever seen.
Signature minerals
Erongo is celebrated for blue aquamarine beryl (with yellow heliodor and colourless goshenite), black schorl, gem jeremejevite and aesthetic fluorite, often in striking combinations on white feldspar, together with quartz, cassiterite and goethite pseudomorphs after siderite.
