Item Description

A fantastic, 2.7 x 2.7 x 2.5 cm, gem, pastel-green, fluorite cuboctahedron with intense stepped-growth faces and water-clear corners is dramatically and aesthetically perched on the matrix of intergrown lustrous, brassy, pyritohedrons. Green octos, such as this, are very rare compared to the pink ones from this 2010 find. The fluorite is pristine. Purple fluorescence. Oustanding and rare Huanzala Mine combination material from the Art Soregaroli Collection. Valued at $900-1000. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
