Item Description
This is a spectacular LARGE CABINET fluorite octahedron specimen from Ruyuan, China. The huge octo is 14.0 x 12.0 x 9.0 cm tall, complete all-around and is nearly pristine, with only very trivial termination wear. The smaller octos are a fine compliment. 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. The internal fracturing you see is normal for these. The pretty apple-green color GLOWS, when backlit. Super fluorescence. 6.6 pounds or 3 kilos.
