Item Description
Striking, translucent, lustrous, beautiful emerald-green, fluorite octahedrons form an impressive large plate from recent Chinese finds in a famous area. The large, stepped-growth face octos measure up to a big 7.2 cm. The modest periphery wear on the bottom and one side is noted, as is just a trivial bit of bruising, but they are certainly modest detractions to this dramatic large piece. The base has been sawed to enhance the display quality. 12.8 pounds or 5.8 kilos. Super fluorescence. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
