Item Description
A vibrant, unique green, sharp, gemmy to translucent, fluorite octahedron is aesthetically set in the sculptural, large, undulating quartz point matrix on this classic combination from the early 2000s finds here. The striking, highly lustrous and glassy, partially doubly terminated crystal is 3.4 x 3.2 x 2.6 cm and is nicely complemented embedded smaller fluorites in the front. The V-shaped notch was examined under a microscope and determined to be pristine. Very trivial adjacent bruising is barely noticeable and is only a minimal detraction. The rich quartz point field is essentially pristine. Rich purple LW UV fluorescence. Riemvasmaak fluorites are considered to be modern classics and this is a fine combination example. NEVER FOUND AGAIN in nearly 20 years, these are modern classics!
