Jauntily perched on a drusy quartz matrix, is a pristine octahedron of lustrous and translucent, emerald green flluorite, measuring 4 cm in length. As an added value, the fluorite exhibits a lovely, faint but observable internal phantom crystal. This is a Very classy miniature! It is completely pristine all around except only one small asymmetry (i think, a contact) hard to see, on one lower tip. Rarely do you see such an isolated octohedron, let alone perched upright. Comes with a custom lucite base for display. I think the minor little flecks inside are minute pyrite inclusions, which would be highly unusual - but I cannot figure what else they may be.
