An aesthetic and excellent fluorite specimen from the recent, very highly touted finds at Riemvasmaak, South Africa. Gemmy and lustrous, unique, light grass-green fluorite cuboctahedrons to 2.5 cm are beautifully clustered on the starkly contrasting, 3-dimensional quartz crystal matrix. The fluorites are pristine on this specimen. Cuboctahedrons are much rarer than normal octahedrons from this find. The crystals are also fabulously accented, as some of the lightly frosted faces are etched, presenting a dramatic effect. Excellent purple fluorescence.
