A prominent central Fluorite cube draws immediate attention, surrounded by intergrown crystals displaying sharp edges, excellent geometric form, and beautiful colour zoning. Small sparkling Quartz crystals nestled between the Fluorite cubes add texture and contrast, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. The specimen displays beautifully from multiple angles, offering an excellent example of the colourful and distinctive Fluorite for which Okorusu Mine is renowned.\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 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 Purple, Blue-Green, White \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 57 mm × 53 mm × 21 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 70 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFluorite forms when mineral-rich hydrothermal fluids circulate through cavities and fractures in surrounding rock. As these fluids cool, calcium and fluorine combine to create the well-formed cubic crystals that make Fluorite one of the world's most collected minerals. Variations in trace elements and growth conditions can produce remarkable colour combinations, including the rich purple and blue-green zoning visible in this specimen. Quartz commonly forms alongside Fluorite during the later stages of mineralisation, creating attractive associations that are highly valued by collectors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Okorusu Mine is one of Namibia's most famous Fluorite localities and has produced some of Africa's finest Fluorite specimens. Located in the Otjiwarongo District, the deposit formed through hydrothermal activity associated with ancient carbonatite intrusions. Okorusu is celebrated among collectors for its colourful Fluorite crystals, particularly specimens displaying contrasting purple, green, and blue colour zones. Although mining operations have largely ceased, specimens from this locality remain highly sought after and continue to be prized additions to collections worldwide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBring home a classic specimen from one of Namibia's most celebrated Fluorite localities and enjoy a beautiful example of the colour, crystal form, and geological history that have made Okorusu famous among mineral collectors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ForeverGems_SA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46242406006980,"sku":"S649","price":400.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/1599\/4699\/files\/S649FluoritewithQuartzOkoruso_1.webp?v=1781266237","url":"https:\/\/www.forevergems.co.za\/products\/purple-blue-green-fluorite-with-quartz-from-okorusu-mine-namibia","provider":"ForeverGems_SA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
