Green fluorite crystals from South Africa’s Riemvasmaak locality are well-known for their striking color and very well-formed, often gemmy octahedral crystals. This small cabinet-size example is in the top quality % for this fund, with a totally perfect 3.5 cm crystal places aesthetically on a matrix of purple fluorite. Very aesthetic! Mark Cross photo.
