Riemvasmaak Fluorite with Quartz Crystals – Rare Green Octahedrons on Matrix
Size: 51mm x 49mm x 52mm Approximately
Weight: 155gram
This striking specimen from Riemvasmaak showcases exceptional octahedral fluorite formations with an intense, translucent green hue. The well-defined crystals display remarkable geometry, creating a visually captivating contrast against the accompanying quartz matrix. The vivid green coloration, combined with the sharp octahedral structure, makes this piece a rare and highly desirable addition for serious collectors.
The Riemvasmaak region is renowned in geological circles for its unique mineralogical environment, shaped by ancient volcanic activity. Situated in South Africa’s Northern Cape, this area is characterized by rugged terrain and deeply weathered granitic formations that have fostered the growth of remarkable mineral specimens. While fluorite occurs in various locations worldwide, Riemvasmaak fluorite stands out due to its deep green saturation, often likened to high-quality emerald tones. However, due to limited mining activity and natural geological constraints, fine-quality fluorite specimens from this locality remain exceptionally rare. Securing a well-formed, undamaged octahedral fluorite from Riemvasmaak is a challenge, making this piece an invaluable find.
