Hohenstein
The Hohenstein is the tallest peak (2319 m) in the Erongo complex, situated in the south on Bergsig Farm 167, Omaruru District.
In 2000 the best aquamarine crystals in Namibia were discovered in near-vertical granite cliffs below the Hohenstein, in the southern border area between Bergsig Farm 167 and the Erongorus Farm 166.
Specimens labelled Hohenstein are erroneous, as no minerals are found on the mountain itself, see https://www.mindat.org/mesg-178564.html
