Item Description
An AESTHETIC and EXCELLENT fluorite specimen from the recent, very highly touted finds at Riemvasmaak, South Africa. Gemmy and lustrous, unique grass-green fluorite octahedrons to 3.0 cm are beautifully clustered on all sides of the starkly contrasting, 3-dimensional quartz-rich matrix. This dramatic specimen, with the large octo dominating the top is nicely complimented by the nearby, isolated, smaller crystal. All of the major crystals are pristine and the periphery wear has absolutely negligible effect. Valued at $1200-1400. These are contemporary classics. The color is INTENSE, deep green, very nice!
