Fluorite

Okorusu Mine, Otjiwarongo District, Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia

Extra Large Cabinet

17 x 14.5 x 5 cm

This large cluster of Fluorite from Okorusu has velvety lustre, and an intensely rich pink color with pockets of yellow zoning. The piece itself is a rather thin plate without much matrix, which allows light to shine through without effort. The result of which, is a striking display of saturated color that requires minimal backlighting. There is almost damage on the piece, and the edges of the cubic crystals feature re-crystallization and etching. An impressive and large example from this world famous locality!
