Item Description

A rare and striking fluorite varietal from the famous Erongo Mountains. Spinel-twinned fluorites are rare from the Erongos. A sharp, tabular, glassy/gemmy spinel-twin, with lightly frosted sharp and etched faces has dramatic and unusual purple color-zoning. The overall color is a very light blue. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. The base and part of one side partially contacted, but there is very little actual damage. Very rarely available in this style and quality. Faint purple fluorescence. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
