An EXCEPTIONAL and AESTHETIC Okarusu Mine CABINET specimen. This beauty is PRISTINE, front and back, and has only one small point of attachment at the base. This superb piece features lustrous, glassy to lightly frosted, fluorite cubes to 2.1 cm. The dominating, large cube on the upper right skyline and the unique stalk of fluorite cubes in the center are striking features. The green cubes have lovely purple highlights, but as with many English fluorites, the green cubes turn purple (natural fluorescence) in nearly all lighting conditions. Color change in outdoor, natural sunlight is particularly striking, as you can see. Good purple fluorescence. An UNCOMMONLY FINE, large, 3-dimensional specimen for Okarusu, previously in the Namibian general collection of Marshall and Charlotte Sussman.
