Summary

Description
English: Fluorite
Locality: Okorusu Mine (Okarusu Mine), Otjiwarongo District, Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia (Locality at mindat.org)
I had to look at this specimen closely to figure out what was going on with that two-toned effect - and was amazed to see what had happened. Inside the top crystal, with its stepped corner modifications, is a flat-topped octahedron that grew in an earlier generation of growth in the pocket! A dark mineral coating, which appears to be microcrystalline purple fluorite, was deposited on the phantom crystal, so that you can clearly distinguish its outline inside the next-generation stepped, modified cube. I have seen a lot of Okarusu fluorite, but nothing quite like this! Beyond that, this cluster has fine bright color and transparency, and no damage at all except the normal stuff around the periphery where the specimen was removed. The back was sawn flat to take the cluster off the pocket wall. 8.8 x 8.2 x 3.5cm
