Green Fluorite (Lincoln Coll.)

Item Description

Stunning green octahedral fluorite crystals stunned the mineral world nearly 15 years ago when they first started coming out of this amazing mine in South Africa, and the quality pieces have not been on the market in over a decade now. This is a beautiful plate of intergrown, sharp octahedral crystals to 4.5 cm at largest. They are super gemmy, brightly colored (some are too pale or too dark, but this is just right - a really bright and happy green color!). The piece displays amazingly well with little backlighting, because it is a relatively thin plate with such transparent crystals, so easily backlit to make it glow in a case. This is translucent to gemmy, a quality rarely seen even at the time. Valued $1500-2000. It comes with a custom, engraved lucite base for display. Sean Lincoln Collection.
