Size: 10.4 x 8.5 x 5.1 cm

Description:   This specimen features multiple (+30!) green fluorite cubes (largest is 1.0 cm on edge) with an array of milky quartz on a feldspar matrix from the Brandberg Mountain. The crystals are mainly green but also have a bluish tinge. The fluorite crystals are sharp and perched on milky white terminated quartz crystals. The milky quartz is a different habit (different shape and form) but is a true Brandberg quartz. The specimen and fluorite crystals are in excellent condition.  This specimen comes from the limited February 2020 find in Brandberg. Specimens from this find are mainly composed of green and pale-blue fluorites, associated with opaque white quartz.
