Description Tabs

Description
Locality: 
Bergsig Farm 167, Omaruru, Erongo Region, Namibia

Crystal Group/Cluster

Miniature (4.5-7 cm)
Size: 
5.5 × 3.6 × 3.2 cm
Description

This specimen is from the same find as the famous alien-fluorites. It also shows the same phantom, but not as sharp and not with the same sharp contrast as alien fluorite. But again - same locality and same cleft and same phantom - so this already represents a very uncommon rarity. The crystals (up to 3cm on edges) are sharp terminated and partly glossy. Backside was on quartz. No significant damages to report.
