Item Description
Choice cluster of unusual Fluorites from Erongo. The sharp, root beer cubes are draped along the spine of the matrix, snaking from bottom to top, sometimes intergrown but not losing their identity at all. These silky Fluorites range up to 1.2 cm in size, and they contrast beautifully with the sugary white matrix. They remind one of the famous root beer crystals that have come from Clay Center, Ohio. Very aesthetic, very unusual, and very distinctive. One of my favorite Fluorites from here for sheer geometry
