Riemvasmaak fluorite has had a steady place atop the list of fluorite localities worldwide since its discovery in the early 2000’s, and it's easy to see why when looking at this one. Aside from the characteristic mesmerizing hues of green within the intergrown fluorite octahedrons, they're laying on a bed of white quartz that serves to elevate the display. Specimens from Riemvasmaak with both species together have always been the most desirable, and the the form of this one gives it the ability to be displayed in numerous artistic positions. The octahedrons are in excellent condition, and some very minor edge wear doesn't detract from the high quality of display. As is standard for these fluorites, they pop out a deep blue under UV.
