This charming small-scale specimen showcases a cluster of well-formed green fluorite octahedrons displaying the coveted purple fluorite core that makes Riemvasmaak material so sought-after by collectors.

Accompanying small quartz crystals add textural interest to this compact yet highly representative example of South Africa's most famous fluorite locality. Despite its modest size, this specimen captures all the essential characteristics that have made Riemvasmaak green fluorite octahedron clusters legendary among mineral enthusiasts worldwide.
Riemvasmaak, located in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, is renowned for producing some of the world’s most striking fluorite specimens. Set in a rugged, volcanic landscape, this area’s unique geology gave rise to highly sought-after octahedral fluorite crystals, famous for their vivid emerald-green color and exceptional transparency. Unlike fluorite from most other localities, Riemvasmaak specimens are prized for their sharp octahedral form and intense saturation, making them rare and distinctive. Alongside fluorite, collectors may also find quartz, agates, and other fascinating minerals. Owning a Riemvasmaak fluorite means holding a truly iconic piece of African mineral heritage.
