Item Description
Three, parallel-growth bands of gemmy and lustrous, unique grass-green fluorite octahedrons form a dramatic and aesthetic specimen from the recent, very highly touted finds at Riemvasmaak, South Africa. This excellent piece displays very well vertically or horizontally. The two, large, discrete octos on the top/side and crest/edge are 1.5 cm. This very fine piece is essentially pristine, except for the contact on the base or side, depending on your display preference. These are contemporary classics. The color is INTENSE, deep green, very nice!
