Description:A showy and excellent fluorite specimen from the recent, very highly touted finds at Riemvasmaak, South Africa. Gemmy and lustrous, unique grass-green fluorite octahedrons to 4.5 cm are beautifully clustered on this specimen of solid fluorite. Some of the crystal faces have a preferential, sparkly, secondary overgrowth of either fluorite or drusy quartz. This dramatic specimen has negligible periphery wear, including one corner of the large octo. This remains a highly representative example of the species and find and displays well from several views. These are contemporary classics. The color is INTENSE, deep green, very nice!
