Okorusu Fluorite Specimen | Namibia
This fluorite specimen comes from the renowned Okorusu Mine in Namibia, one of the world’s best-known localities for producing high-quality fluorite crystals. Collectors value these specimens for their exceptional clarity, vibrant colours, and well-formed cubic crystal habit.
Fluorite is a calcium fluoride mineral (CaFâ‚‚) that commonly forms in hydrothermal veins alongside minerals such as quartz, calcite, and barite. The Okorusu Mine is particularly well known for producing attractive green, blue-green, purple, and colour-zoned crystals with excellent crystal definition.
Each specimen formed naturally over millions of years, making every piece unique in colour, crystal size, and overall appearance. Whether you’re an experienced mineral collector, a geology student, or searching for an eye-catching display specimen, this Okorusu Fluorite is an excellent addition to any collection.

About the Okorusu Mine
The Okorusu Mine is internationally recognised for producing some of Namibia’s finest fluorite crystals. Its hydrothermal mineral deposits have created specimens with outstanding colour, transparency, and crystal form. As a result, examples from this locality remain highly sought after by collectors and museums around the world.
Please note: You will receive the exact specimen shown in the photographs. The images form part of the description and accurately represent the item you will receive.
Some photographs have been taken with a light source positioned behind the specimen to highlight its natural colour, transparency, and colour zoning. This lighting technique helps reveal details that may be less visible under normal lighting conditions.
