Item Description

An unusual, striking and aesthetic combination of yellow rosettes of muscovite crystals, in sharp hexagonal blades, dramatically perched upon glassy, transparent, bottle green, lightly cubic fluorite. The fluorite cubes, in some cases have purple shaded interiors. A very fine, two-sided specimen of this colorful, uncommon combination. From the noted Erongo specialty collection of Heini Soltau.
