Item Description
This is a large, CABINET, fluorite octahedron from Ruyuan, China. These are not coming out any longer; they were available in decent supply for only a very short time, and then became expensive shorty thereafter, and they still are. This huge, compound crystal is complete all around, and is very nearly pristine, with only super-trivial edgewear. The internal fracturing you see is normal for these. The pretty apple-green color GLOWS, when backlit.
