Item Description

An aesthetic and rich large fluorite plate from Riemvasmaak. Tightly intergrown unique green, gemmy to translucent octahedrons with frosted faces are accented with starkly contrasting milky quartz crystals. This showy piece is highlighted by the impressive large, 4.7 cm on edge octo on the upper right. In great shape, overall. The moderate contacting/bruising on the large octo tip and frontal periphery wear are noted, but are certainly only modest detractions to this excellent large fluorite. Rich purple fluorescence. These are contemporary classics, with little new material coming out recently.
