Fluorite (fake)
specimen number:
1602814
location:
Farm Ameib, Erongo, Namibia
description:
A grouping of light purple translucent non-lustrous octahedral fluorite crystals 3.0 cm across glued up onto matrix. This is an obvious fake. I left it as is for history's sake, that would be a nice thumbnail sized grouping of fluorite crystals for this area if removed from the matrix.
