This extraordinary specimen features a magnificent green fluorite octahedron displaying exceptional crystal faces and remarkable internal zoning with a purple fluorite core - a rare phenomenon that adds significant collector value. The primary octahedron sits elegantly atop a bed of sparkling white druzy quartz crystals, creating stunning visual contrast. From the world-renowned Riemvasmaak locality in South Africa's Northern Cape, this piece showcases the geological complexity that makes this region legendary among collectors. The combination of perfect octahedral geometry, dual-color fluorite zoning, and pristine druzy quartz matrix represents museum-quality South African mineralogy at its finest.

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.
