Item Description

A beautiful, 3.8 cm on edge, gemmy, emerald-green, fluorite octahedron is aesthetically placed on the quartz crystal plate on this very showy and excellent combination example from Riemvasmaak. The octo is nearly pristine, with only barely noticeable bruising to two terminations. The color is INTENSE, deep green, very nice! Mark my words, these are contemporary classics. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!! SOMEDAY, we will look back on these the way we do now for Illinois fluorites of 20-30 years ago even, and wonder why they were so darned cheap, mark my words. Super purple fluorescence.
