A showy and excellent fluorite specimen from the recent, very highly touted finds at Riemvasmaak, South Africa. Gemmy and lustrous, unique grass-green fluorite octahedrons to 4.5 cm are beautifully clustered on this specimen of solid fluorite. Some of the crystal faces have a preferential, sparkly, secondary overgrowth of either fluorite or drusy quartz. This is a highly representative example of the species and find. These are contemporary classics. The color is intense, deep green.
