A particularly aesthetic example of a Nigeria fluorite- with lush green hues, sharp red zonings and good clarity. In excellent condition, and the inclusions of sparkly quartz crystals and contrasting yellow siderite really makes this specimen as interesting as it is gorgeous.

Nigerian fluorites are increasingly appreciated by collectors for their attractive colours, sharp crystal forms and distinctive zonings. Crystals can display vivid purple, green, blue and colourless zones. Nigerian fluorite is commonly associated with quartz and other hydrothermal minerals. Fine, well-formed crystals can be difficult to obtain consistently, making well-preserved material from notable Nigerian localities particularly desirable among collectors.

A big, single crystal from the Jalingo Mine with juicy grape purple colour and thick green zonings- an unexpected yet unique contrast. Completely glassy with remarkable clarity, especially for its size! Light passes through easily, brightening up the entire fluorite when held near a light source.
Locality: Jalingo Mine, Nigeria
Measures: Approx. 8.8 x 5.6cm
Colourless, with a curious tinge of mint green and soft pink within, making this an interesting example that contains all the colours ever seen in fluorite specimens from this famous locality. This specimen is also glassy and gemmy, with slightly bevelled edges.
