Three stacked and slightly intergrown, intensely colored Fluorite crystals with altered white Microcline from pegmatite in the Erongo Region of Namibia. The Fluorites have a gorgeous medium green interior with darker green-purple corners all surrounded by a 2mm colorless rim! Its interesting to note that the dark corners are only visible in interior lighting and aren't visible at all in sunlight! The Fluorite forms are dominated by the cube with minor octahedral modifications. The largest Fluorite measures 2.3cm across and the second largest 1.7cm; both are complete with only minor internal fracturing. The third crystal is more of a flattened box and is contacted on the back. The snow-white, altered Microcline shard on the backside makes for great contrast.
