This elegant specimen features softly glowing light green fluorite cubes with well-defined edges and a satin-like luster. The semi-translucent quality of the crystals allows light to gently pass through, revealing delicate internal zoning and subtle gradients of color. Set against a natural matrix, this piece is a refined and calming addition to any mineral collection.
Fluorite (CaF₂) is prized for its perfect cubic crystal structure, range of colors, and glassy transparency. It forms in hydrothermal environments, where fluorine-rich fluids deposit minerals in voids and fractures within the surrounding host rock. The pale green hue of this specimen is typically caused by trace amounts of rare earth elements or exposure to natural radiation over time.
This piece comes from the world-famous Okoruso Mine in northern Namibia—a locality celebrated for producing high-quality fluorite in a spectrum of colors. Geologically, the mine is situated in a zone shaped by alkaline magmatism and skarn formation, which led to the development of complex carbonate replacement deposits. These processes created ideal conditions for fluorite crystallization in extraordinary form and clarity.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or just beginning your journey, this light green fluorite offers both visual serenity and geological significance.
