Item Description
A sculptural, very 3-dimensional fluorite specimen from the recent, very highly touted finds at Riemvasmaak, South Africa. Gemmy and lustrous, unique grass-green fluorite octahedrons solidly comprise showy piece. The crowning glory on the elongated, flattened arm is a 2.0 x 1.6 x 1.6 cm octahedron. The fluorite crystal crust has casted long dissolved away rock. This dramatic specimen displays very well on three sides. It is a highly representative example of the species and locale. These are contemporary classics. The color is INTENSE, deep green, very nice!
