The fluorite forms a richly intergrown cluster with broad cubic crystal faces, stepped growth patterns and softly frosted surfaces that give the specimen an almost sculptural appearance. Subtle variations in green colour and translucency add depth throughout the cluster, while small areas of contrasting mineralisation provide additional visual interest.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecimen Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMineral:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fluorite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale mint green to light green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steinkopf, Northern Cape, South Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSmall Cabinet (SMC) – 43 × 37 × 69 mm (Length × Width × Height)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professionally cleaned and ready to display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe specimen is particularly attractive from the front and sides, where the translucent fluorite dominates the matrix and reveals the complex intergrowth of the crystals.

Specimens from the wider Steinkopf area are associated with the mineral-rich pegmatite environments of the Namaqualand region, where fluorite has been documented among the area's diverse mineral assemblages. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its unusually soft mint-green colour and substantial \u003cstrong\u003eSmall Cabinet\u003c\/strong\u003e size, this is a specimen that has a strong presence without becoming difficult to display.
