Item Description

A sculptural intergrown pair of opposing, very highly etched fluorite octahedrons from the collection of Namibian specialist Heini Soltau. The striking, frosted etching is enhanced by the variable shades of green. Interestingly, the apex terminations on both octos are unetched! Unusual and nifty fluorite from the Erongos.
