Fluorite

Okorusu Mine, Otjiwarongo District, Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia

Small Cabinet

9.6 x 8 x 2.6 cm

This triangular plate of Fluorite from Okorusu has great luster and a beautiful mix of purple and yellow. It exhibits excellent contrast of the colors with super sharp phantoms in the prominent cubic crystal. The singular, large cubic crystal stands out from the rest as it is translucent, letting light in from the side as there is no matrix beneath since it grew outwards. It glows with only a minor amount of backlighting. There is essentially no damage on the piece, a stunning and highly unusual specimen!
