A striking, 2.5 x 2.4 cm, emerald-green, cuboctahedral fluorite crystal with intensely purple color-zoning dominates this fine fluorite crystal cluster from recent finds in the Erongo Mountains of Namibia. The large crystal is complete-all-around and has excellent gemminess and luster. The fluorites are attached to complimentary, bone-white orthoclase. This is a fine large crystal and the specimen is highly representative of the species and locality.
