Item Description

Rather remarkable combination piece of Fluorite, Feldspar, and Schorl. The Fluorite cubes are a deep deep Purple, with green cores which can only be seen at the contact points. The Feldpars are tan and partially etched, while the lustrous Schorls intermingle with the rest. The largest Fluorite is 1.3 cm, the Feldspar up to 3 cm, and the Schorl 3.2 cm. It is a very good piece, and the pics cannot do it justice because of the very wide range in color and brightness. The Feldspars are fluorescent. It is much better in person - a very good Erongo cabinet piece.
