Item Description

A rare and striking fluorite varietal from the famous Erongo Mountains. Spinel-twinned fluorites are rare from the Erongos. Two, sharp, intergrown, glassy spinel-twins, with lightly frosted faces have dramatic and unusual purple color-zoning. This fine, complete all-around piece is a floater! Nearly pristine, the trivial bit of contacting on the back is out of sight. Very rarely available in this style and quality. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock.
