Item Description
A beautiful example of this now classic material from Erongo featuring superb, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, modified cubic "phantom" crystals measuring up to 2.1 cm on edge sitting atop blocky white partially etched Microcline crystal matrix. The piece is notably three-dimensional with a lot of character as you can see from the photos/video. While the color in the Fluorite crystals is mostly a rich green hue, the outer edges show a slight colorless zoning, and the largest crystal features almost "smoky" colored hues on the edges. These specimens are some of the most iconic Fluorites to come from any locality in the last 20 years, and this particular piece was found in 2008. No major damage and very eye-catching. Priced at $750 in the inventory.
