Fluorite (M849)
Maybe you already have a specimen from Okorusu, but Okorusu is probably the locality with the most different kinds (habits) and colors world-wide. It´s the largest Fluorite mine on this planet and productive since over 100 years. So a locality of this relevanve probably deserves to show some diversity. And not just a random sample - these intense blue ones only came in the early 80ties, this color was never found twice! It is electric blue, with tones of blue-green and violet zonings along the edges. And translucency is very good! The faces are glossy, crystals are up to 43mm on edges. No significant damages to report, backside was on the rock
