Item Description
A showy and excellent mounded specimen of sharp fluorite octahedrons from the recent, very highly touted finds at Riemvasmaak, South Africa. The gemmy and lustrous, unique grass-green fluorite octahedrons are aesthetically stacked atop each other. The largest octo is 2.7 cm. All of the many terminations on this fine piece are pristine, except for one, where the insignificant bruising is out of sight on the back. The color is INTENSE, deep green, very nice! Mark my words, these are contemporary classics. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!! SOMEDAY, we will look back on these the way we do now for Illinois fluorites of 10-20 years ago even, and wonder why they were so darned cheap, mark my words. Pristine. Valued at $1000.
