FLUORITE (SPINEL TWIN)Erongo MountainsKarbib ConstituencyNamibia3.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 Inches9 x 6.5 x 4 Centimeters CabinetA few years back there was a significant discovery of spinel tw in fluorite specimens in the Erongo Mountains area. I have seen them in a variety of sizes and interesting clusters - They are instantly recognizable. This particular specimen is a great example - It has a nice combination of interesting features - Great clarity, unique etchings/growths on one face and a very flat/smooth face on the opposite side. When you view the interior of the specimen from the top down you can clearly see the purple inclusion/zoning suspended within the crystal. This is one of those crystals that you will enjoy holding and looking at from a variety of angles! Show more
