Fluorite and Muscovite Crystal Cluster from Erongo, Namibia

Gemmy Geometry: Fluorite & Muscovite Harmony from Erongo

Size:  63mm x 40mm x 37mm Approximately

Weight:  66 gram

This striking specimen showcases a dazzling combination of translucent green fluorite crystals intergrown with golden-yellow muscovite blades, all from the renowned Erongo Mountains of Namibia. The fluorite forms in distinct, sharp cubes with a glassy luster and subtle zoning, while the muscovite adds shimmering, leafy contrast in its classic platy form. The piece features remarkable clarity and texture, making it an exceptional display specimen for serious mineral collectors.

Fluorite is a calcium fluoride mineral known for its wide range of colors and cubic crystal habit. It forms in hydrothermal veins, often in association with minerals like quartz, barite, and sulfides. Muscovite, a variety of mica, is a silicate mineral valued for its pearly sheen and sheet-like structure, typically forming in igneous and metamorphic environments.

In the Erongo region, fluorite and muscovite occur together in complex pegmatitic systems and miarolitic cavities within granitic host rock. The Erongo Mountains are the remnants of a massive volcanic system active around 130150 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous. Rich in minerals due to repeated magmatic intrusions and hydrothermal activity, the area is globally celebrated for producing some of the finest mineral specimens in Africa.

Add this uniquely vibrant and well-formed specimen to your collection and own a piece of Namibia's mineralogical legacy.
