Item Description
Gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored fluorite cuboctahedrons and corroded pearlescent feldspar form a very showy large combination piece from the Erongos. This piece is dramatically enhanced by the two large fluorites at the top (to 2.7 cm). The fluorites are a beautiful apple-green with grape-purple highights, with some faces water-clear and some frosted. The druse of hyalite opal lights up neon-green under SW UV light and the fluorites have modest fluorescence. BETTER IN PERSON!!!
