Item Description

Classic green Fluorites from the famous Erongo Mountains. The cuboctahedral Fluorites have deep-green cores and clear (with a hint of purple) outer zones. They are modified, and intergrown. The largest Fluorite is 3 cm across, and they rest on a bed of well-formed hexagonal Muscovite, Schorl, and Orthoclase. The left end is contacted, but for the size and quality, this is a very showy, intensely colored Erongo combination specimen. valued $750.
