Description

Fluorite
Okorusu Mine, Otjiwarongo Constituency, Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia
24.4 x 16.7 x 11.1 cm (9.61 x 6.57 x 4.37 in)

A large cabinet specimen fully composed of interconnected honey-yellow Fluorite cubes that rise in tiered formation, culminating in a dominant 6.7 cm crystal at the top. All of the Fluorite is transparent with a bright glassy luster that amplifies the richness of the yellow coloration; in a few areas, subtle purple zoning can be seen within the cubes. The overall structure gives the specimen a dramatic, cliff-like presentation.

From the collection of Daniel "Dan" R. Kennedy.

More Information: This piece is in great condition with a few bruises and cleaves on some of the cubic corners.
