Crystal Contrast: Fluorite & Muscovite from Erongo’s Depths
Size: 45mm x 44mm x 24mm Approximately
Weight: 60 gram
This beautifully balanced specimen showcases a matrix of soft green fluorite cubes interspersed with golden muscovite sheets, forming a vibrant and textured display. The fluorite crystals exhibit a luminous transparency with subtle zoning, while the muscovite glitters in stacked, leafy layers that add warmth and visual contrast. Together, they create a mineralogical composition that is both aesthetically and geologically remarkable.
Fluorite is a calcium fluoride mineral prized for its cubic form and range of colors. It typically forms in hydrothermal veins, where mineral-rich fluids deposit crystals in cavities. Muscovite, part of the mica group, is a silicate mineral known for its shiny, sheet-like appearance and forms in pegmatitic and metamorphic environments.
This cluster originates from the Erongo Mountains in Namibia, a region shaped by intense volcanic and magmatic activity around 130–150 million years ago. Pegmatites and miarolitic cavities within Erongo’s alkali granites provided the perfect environment for the growth of large and visually striking mineral specimens like this one.
A must-have for collectors who appreciate natural artistry and rare geological formation, this piece offers a window into the mineral treasures of Namibia.
