This is a set of two Erongo fluorites. The larger one is a plate of translucent green crystals, the larger one measuring 2.4 cm along the edge. The crystals are razor-sharp, and the trim job is perfect, with a fine balance to the specimen. The thumber is fascinating: a cube of intense green ENCLOSING a cuboctahedron highlighted with purple! Two other cuboctahedra are intergrown with the side faces of the cube.
