Fluorite and Muscovite on Orthoclase

Item Description

Purple Fluorites from Erongo are far more scarce than the lovely, deep greens, but can certainly hold their own in quality. These cubes, of which there must be close to 100, have deep purple cores and clear outer zones, along with a nice silky luster. There are a few cleaved corners around the piece, but not too many. The largest crystal is 1.1 cm, and the Fluorites generously cover a matrix of Muscovite and Orthoclase.
