Riemvasmaak Fluorite with Quartz Crystals – Rare Green Octahedrons on Matrix
Size: 75mm x 43mm x 42mm Approximately
Weight: 169gram
This exceptional specimen showcases vivid green fluorite octahedrons beautifully adorned with a sparkling layer of white Quartz crystals. Sourced from the renowned Riemvasmaak area in South Africa's Northern Cape, this piece reflects the unique geological forces that shaped one of the most sought-after fluorite localities in the world.
Riemvasmaak is geologically significant due to its location within an ancient volcanic landscape, where post-volcanic hydrothermal activity led to the formation of world-class fluorite deposits. The region’s fluorite is highly prized for its striking emerald-green hue, sharp crystal forms, and exceptional clarity—attributes rarely seen together and increasingly scarce on the market.
The contrast between the glassy green fluorite and the sparkling calcite adds visual complexity and mineralogical interest, making this piece not only an aesthetic standout but also a scientifically valuable specimen. With the locality no longer actively producing, high-quality examples such as this are coveted by advanced collectors and institutions alike.
