Item Description

A dramatic and aesthetic, 2.4 cm, sharp fluorite octahedron from the recent, very highly touted finds at Riemvasmaak, South Africa. This imposing gemmy and lustrous, unique grass-green fluorite is elegantly perched on sparkly, druszy quartz-covered fluorite matrix. This octahedron is complete all-around and essentially pristine, with only the most infinitesimal bruise to one, out of sight face of the termination. This is definitely a very fine single crystal miniature from this find. The color is INTENSE, deep green, very nice! Mark my words, these are contemporary classics. Fairly valued at $1000. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!! SOMEDAY, we will look back on these the way we do now for Illinois fluorites of 10-20 years ago even, and wonder why they were so darned cheap, mark my words
