Delicate colour zoning and occasional flashes of purple can be seen throughout the cluster, while the contrasting matrix provides a natural backdrop that highlights the geometric beauty of the Fluorite crystals. The specimen offers excellent texture and sparkle, making it an appealing display piece for collectors who appreciate intricate crystal growth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Details You Need\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✓ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMineral Species:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fluorite\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✓ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAssociated Minerals:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Minor Quartz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✓ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLocality:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Okorusu Mine, Otjiwarongo District, Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✓ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecimen Type:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Small Cabinet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✓ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCrystal System:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Cubic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✓ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColour:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Smoky Blue, Grey, Violet \u0026amp; Clear\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✓ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLustre:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Vitreous\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✓ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTransparency:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Transparent to Translucent\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✓ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Approximately 68 mm × 43 mm × 47 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✓ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 154 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFluorite forms from mineral-rich hydrothermal fluids that move through fractures and open spaces within surrounding rock. As these fluids cool, dissolved calcium and fluorine crystallise into the characteristic cubic crystals that make Fluorite one of the most recognisable minerals in the world. Variations in trace elements and natural radiation can influence crystal colour, producing the smoky blue, grey, and violet tones visible in this specimen. The result is a fascinating mineral that is equally appreciated for its scientific significance and aesthetic beauty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Okorusu Mine, located in Namibia's Otjozondjupa Region, is internationally renowned for producing some of the finest Fluorite specimens ever discovered in Africa.
