Fluorite from Okorusu Mine, Namibia

A delightful cluster of fluorite cubes displaying a captivating dual-toned color zoning, with warm honey-golden yellow interiors dramatically rimmed and edged in deep violet-purple creating a striking phantoming effect that showcases the changing geochemical conditions during crystal growth.

The glassy, translucent crystals allow light to pass through beautifully, illuminating the color contrast from within and giving the piece an almost stained-glass quality. This specimen originates from the celebrated Purple Bunny Pocket of the D-Pit at Okorusu, a specific find that produced some of the most distinctive and sought-after zoned fluorite the locality has ever yielded, and one that collectors actively seek out by name.
