Item Description
An EXCELLENT, two-sided CABINET specimen of translucent, green fluorite octahedrons. The large, dominating octahedron is 6.0 cm. These fluorites came out in modest numbers for only a short time, and have essentially disappeared form the market (see recent Min. Record China issue for more on these). It is quite hard now to find nice-looking, undamaged crystals, on or off matrix, and the Chinese dealers value them highly and charge plenty for them. The specimen is pristine, except for periphery wear and displays well from either side.
