Fluorite

Okorusu Mine, Otjiwarongo District, Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia

Miniature

3.5 x 2.5 x 1.7 cm

This incredibly glassy and lustrous cluster of Fluorite from Okorusu is a deep shade of purple, that illuminates with magenta tones when backlit. Most notable is the green zoning in the centre of the piece. The crystals are so saturated that they appear almost black under dim light, but pop with vibrant colour under minimal backlighting. There are a few minor dings overall, but it does not distract from the piece. A very beautiful specimen with interesting zoning from this world famous locality!
