Fluorite octahedrons (excellent)

Item Description

A dramatic sharp fluorite octahedron from the recent, very highly touted finds at Riemvasmaak, South Africa. This imposing gemmy and lustrous, unique grass-green fluorite is beautifully framed by quartz. This octahedron is strikingly complete in the display view. Interestingly, the corners are water-clear, while the faces are lightly etched or have stepped-growth. Very, very nearly pristine, with only barely visible brusing to two corners. Contacting and heavy etching on the back have no damage, per se. This is defintely a large and fine single crystal from this find. The color is INTENSE, deep green, very nice! Mark my words, these are contemporary classics. Valued at $800-1000. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!! SOMEDAY, we will look back on these the way we do now for Illinois fluorites of 10-20 years ago even, and wonder why they were so darned cheap, mark my words
