Item Description

Pleasant and sharp, these Fluorites have an unusual color pattern for Erongo. The intertgrown cubes, the largest of which is 1.4 cm on edge, are gemmy and have very good luster. The cores are a variegated green, but not sharply delineated. The outer portion is a light sky blue, VERY unusual for Erongo. Looking at it, it reminds me of green algae floating in the middle of clear water. Quite attractive, actually. There are fine crystals of Muscovite along the lower portion of the specimen. An unusual, and attractive, Erongo miniature.
