Description
A striking color-zoned fluorite crystal from recent finds at Erongo Mountain, Namibia. The sharp, transparent octahedron is strikingly color-zoned. The pretty emerald-green body has an amazing reddish-brown core and some of the crystal faces have interesting purple highlights. Some of the crystal faces are water-clear, while others are preferentially etched. An outstanding and unusual fluorite crystal from this noted locale.
