Item Description

A fine row of gemmy, unique grass-green fluorite octahedrons to 1.8 cm is aesthetically perched on strange, intersecting quartz crystal "walls". The unique walls are possibly casted after very rare, large hematite plates? or an unknown. Whatever, this is surreal and rare combination piece from this famous locale. The beautiful octos are pristine. Modest bruising is noted to parts of the "walls", but has minimal impact to the dramatic and aesthetic quality of this piece. Bright purple fluorescence.
