Description

This is a great trio of fluorite crystals with vibrant green colour. zones The crystals exhibit predominantly cubic forms, combined with octahedral and dodecahedral forms. The backside of each crystal is hollow – the larger crystal at the bottom is very hollow from behind. The crystals are not broken – the surfaces of the back of the specimen are crystallized. The top crystal has a smaller hollow, piercing into the middle of the dark central phantom (brown with hints of purple). In excellent condition. From the Tracy Kimmel collection – she originally acquired it from Jordi Fabre (it is on mindat with the MinID K2H 903). The intense green zones in these crystals make the piece – it’s a beautiful Erongo fluorite!
