Item Description

An striking cluster of unique, rich green fluorite octahedrons fills a vug in sculptural curved granular quartz matrix on this imposing combination from Riemvasmaak. The gemmy crystals with satin luster faces are dominated by the impressive sharply terminated 4.0 cm octo. Two periphery contacts are noted in the cluster, but are certainly only modest detractions to this very showy combination, that has two fine display views. Purple fluorescence. These are contemporary classics.
