Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, unique emerald-green fluorite octahedrons, to 3.5 cm, are densely intergrown on the mounded large undulating purple fluorite matrix. The beautiful rich green color is unlike that of any other fluorite locality. A very showy and rich 360-degree example from the locale. Essentially pristine. The interior is pristine and the bit of noted periphery wear is certainly only a modest detraction to this fine large example. These are contemporary classics and pieces of this quality simply do not come out anymore! This is a large, dramatic, intense green color and as a specimen is one of the more impactful ones in this size range - certainly on the modern market, they are gone in this quality. Valued $2500.
