Fluorite

Okorusu Mine, Otjiwarongo District, Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia

Extra Large Cabinet

15.4 x 7.4 x 3.3 cm

This Fluorite from Okorusu comes from the newly discovered “honey pocket”, named after the golden yellow hues. It has fantastic lustre and an intensely rich, honey yellow color, with a blueish black centre. It exhibits excellent contrast of the two colors, with the opaque phantom in the center, surrounded by translucent crystals. It glows with only a minor amount of backlighting, in a striking display of colour. It has very little damage save for a few nicks, which are only noticeable upon close inspection. Most notable is the phenomenal shape that loosely resembles a hand, or perhaps a rabbit… it can be left up to the imagination, paired with its impressive size. An exceptional piece from the famous Okorusu mine, pieces with superb aesthetics such as this are incredibly uncommon!
