Specimen # 100763
Mineral: Fluorite, Quartz
Location: Riemvasmaak, Northern Cape Province, South Africa
Size: 6.3 x 5.5 x 5.2 cm

Description

This cluster of fluorite crystals features sharp octahedra up to 1.9 cm across. The green fluorites are vibrant, and they are offset nicely around the base by an older underlying generation of purple fluorite. In excellent condition – the main crystal is pristine and otherwise a few contacts and missing crystals around the periphery where the specimen was removed from surrounding rock. Eye-catching colour and great aesthetics with the main crystal perched up as it is.
