Unusual and very striking set of gemmy clear Fluorites intergrown with Schorl crystals. The Fluorites, the largest of which is 2.1 cm in length, are cubes modified by the octahedron, and they all have the deep purple edging that Erongo Fluorites are famous for. The luster ranges from good to very good, and it allows one to see and enjoy the thin Schorl crystals that penetrate some of the Fluorites. There are also lustrous Schorls adjacent to the base of the Fluorites.
