An exceptionally large single crystal of Fluorite on etched Orthoclase. The Fluorite is 5x4x3 cm, has very good luster, and the classic purple and green zoning we have come to expect from Erongo. The crystal is actually much gemmier than the camera can capture - it really glows under the right light. This is a giant crystal for the locale with distinct color-zoning. Ex. Charlie Key.
