Item Description
Striking, translucent, lustrous, beautiful apple-green, fluorite octahedrons form an impressive large plate from recent Chinese finds in a famous area. The intensely stepped-growth and frosted octos measure up to 4.0 cm. Nearly pristine. One spot of contacting, with very little bruising, per se, is noted. Certainly a modest detraction to this dramatic large piece. This piece GLOWS neon apple-green, when backlit. 13.4 pounds or 6.1 kilos. Interestingly, no fluorescence. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
