Description

I still maintain that this is the finest phantom fluorite that has ever come out of the orange river localities and thankfully every now and then I get another specimen from the one time discovery on the Namibian side of the river. I have this single specimen from my recent acquisition of namibian collection that covered mainly namibias southern mineral producing localities.

The main crystal of interest is positioned in-between colorless fluorite cubes and features a superb transparency that allows the phantom to be clearly visible without any additional lighting. Another smaller fluorite crystal can be seen on the other side of the colorless group and then a cluster of them to the right side however no clarity of view is possible in this lot.

The finest phantoms reveal a pink halo-globe that is visible within the fluorite cube from any of its window faces. A striking contrast is had between the colorless and colorful crystals.
