A superb, gemmy plate of clear and transparent green Erongo fluorite. The crystals are cubes modified by octahedrons - the faces are clear windows into the mint-green Fluorite while the modified corners all have a stepped surface to them, creating a lovely contrast. The glassy luster can be seen and appreciated on all faces. The largest of the crystals is about 2 cm on edge and is intergrown with its neighbors. Ex. Charlie Key.
