Item Description

Beautiful, gemmy and lustrous, emerald-green, fluorite cuboctahedrons are strikingly color-zoned with deep purple fluorite on this showy and excellent example from recent finds in the Erongo Mountains of Namibia. The fluorites rest on feldspar matrix. Purple fluorescence on the fluorite and a couple of streaks of hyalite opal fluoresce neon-green. Highly representative material from this noted locale.
