Item Description

Fluorite and quartz combination specimens, with well-crystallized quartz such as this, are very uncommon from the recent highly touted finds. Sharp, glassy, isolated, light emerald-green octahedrons to 2.0 cm are dramatically set on this aesthetic plate of lustrous, milky quartz crystals. The octos are much more limpid, than you usually see from this find. Very fine and pristine for a combo piece.
