RETAIL PRICE
A NOTE FROM NICK
A large flat of 7 polished fluorescent Watermelon Fluorite slices. Translucent green, purple and blue slices.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Fluorescent Watermelon Fluorite from Uis, Namibia
Watermelon Fluorite from Uis is famous for its blue, green, and purple colors, often with fascinating quartz exposures. Discovered by Toprock Namibia nearly two decades ago, this deposit has been recently revitalized with new mining efforts. The plates, up to 60 cm thick and extending 15 meters below the surface, reveal gem-quality green specimens, though the color range can be slightly narrower in some areas. Resembling a watermelon slice, this Fluorite is stable and perfect for lapidary work. As demand grows, we’re excited to bring more polished pieces to the market.
