Three parallel-growth bands of gemmy and lustrous, unique grass-green fluorite octahedrons form a dramatic and aesthetic specimen from the recent, very highly touted finds at Riemvasmaak, South Africa. The two large, discrete octahedrons on the top/side and crest/edge are 1.5 cm. This very fine piece is essentially pristine. These are contemporary classics. The color is intense, deep green; very nice.
