Item Description
A showy and excellent miniature specimen of sharp fluorite octahedrons from the recent, very highly touted finds at Riemvasmaak, South Africa. The gemmy and lustrous, unique grass-green fluorite octahedrons are sculpturally stacked together. The largest octo is 1.4 cm. All of the many terminations on this fine piece are pristine, except for a slightly bruised tip on the highest octo. 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 10-20 years ago even, and wonder why they were so darned cheap, mark my words. Super purple fluorescence.
