Quartz with Fluorite

Item Description

This nicely composed small cabinet combination piece from Erongo is dominated by a single, robust Quartz crystal with a sidecar "alien eye" Fluorite on a matrix of corroded Microcline. The sharply formed, mostly transparent, faintly smoky Quartz crystal measures 5.7 cm tall and 2.7 cm wide and is accompanied by a small, 8 mm, zoned "alien eye" Fluorite crystal on one side. This vibrant little Fluorite has a bright green interior and faces with dark purple edges and corners so characteristic of these...this is just a sharp, showy mini version of the big and beautiful ones! The white, somewhat salt and peppered matrix for the Quartz and Fluorite consists mostly of corroded, white Microcline admixed with some subhedral Quartz with a light sprinkling of tiny black Schorl crystals. A well composed and balanced small cabinet piece!
