A stunning, sculptural, cabinet-sized fluorite plate from the recent, very highly touted finds at Riemvasmaak, South Africa. Gemmy and lustrous, unique grass-green fluorite octahedrons are aesthetically clustered on this piece. The striking, jagged, sidecar "mountain" is 7.5 cm wide and the large, flat-lying octahedron is 10.0 cm. This dramatic specimen is essentially pristine. The color is intense, deep green. Because it is thin, having grown as crystals expanding along a narrow cavity, it is exceptionally easy to backlight and the full color shows evenly and easily in any lighting.
