This beautiful Goshenite specimen displays a radiating cluster of transparent to milky-white hexagonal crystals rising elegantly from its natural matrix. The crystals are sharply terminated and well-defined, showing excellent luster and clarity typical of high-quality Erongo beryl. Subtle internal reflections add a gentle shimmer to the piece, making it both visually refined and mineralogically impressive. Its balanced composition and pristine crystal form make it an excellent display piece for any collection.

Goshenite is the colorless variety of beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈), sharing the same mineral family as emerald and aquamarine. It forms in granitic pegmatites, where beryllium-rich fluids crystallize in cavities under slow-cooling conditions. In the Erongo Mountains, hydrothermal activity within ancient granitic domes created ideal environments for the growth of beryl crystals. Over time, these mineral-rich fluids deposited perfectly formed Goshenite crystals, often associated with minerals such as quartz, schorl, and feldspar.

The Erongo Mountains in Namibia are among the world’s most celebrated mineral localities, famed for producing exceptional specimens of aquamarine, schorl, fluorite, and Goshenite. Formed from a volcanic ring complex, the region has long attracted geologists and collectors for its remarkable mineral diversity and the aesthetic perfection of its crystals. Erongo specimens are prized globally for their combination of scientific importance and natural beauty — a hallmark of Namibia’s rich geological heritage.

Add this elegant Namibian Goshenite to your collection today — a timeless example of clarity and natural precision.
