Item Description

A striking, excellent and aesthetic Erongo quartz and fluorite specimen from the Charlie Key dealer stock. The glassy quartz crystal spike is water-clear and has dramatic overtones of golden-amber and black iron oxides, along with some preferentially frosted faces. Gemmy, pretty grass-green, fluorite cubes to 6 mm beautifully cover the microcline "porch" on one side. The quartz has multiple terminations and the cleft in between hosts a nifty 3 mm fluorite crystal with microcline. Complete all-around, the large quartz crystal is pristine. Modest purple fluorescence for the fluorite and a tiny bit of neon-green hyalite opal is also present. Erongo quartz and fluorite combos with this form and coloration are very uncommon.
