Details on the place of origin and location

The fluorite comes from the Aris quarries, located about 25 km south of the Namibian capital, Windhoek. These quarries are known for their mineral-rich cavities and are considered important deposits for rare minerals. The region's phonolite rocks contain numerous cavities in which unusual minerals such as fluorite form. The Aris quarries are also type localities for several rare minerals, including arisite (Ce) and windhoekite.
