A gorgeous cluster of four Fluorite octahedra from the famous new locality of Riemsvasmaak. The upper crystal is complete, and measures 3.3 cm on edge. The crystals are gemmy, and have a beautiful minty green color. Much of the crystals are covered with a sparkly drusy coating, with all the corners preferentially exposed. What look dark on the photo are really the exposed gemmy corners. This is an incredibly aesthetic specimen - even better in person. The coloration on the tips is also more appealing in person. Ex. Charlie Key.
