Item Description

Magnificent combination piece of superb Fluorites, on Quartz, from the famous and recent discoveries at Riemsvasmaak. The main Fluorite is a mint green, frosted, modified cuboctahedron that is an amazing 2.8 cm across. It sits up on a bed of doubly to singlly terminated Quartz crystals, very fine in their own right. On the sides and back of the Quartz plate are three Fluorite octahedrons. Two of those fluorites are very GEMMY, and the near-complete, virtually perfect octahedron is 1.2 cm on edge. That, in and of itself would nake a great specimen. Combine everything, and you have an absolute killer. The fluorites are clear, like ice cubes!
