Item Description
A very nifty and highly unusual, helmet-shaped, bilaterial, combination specimen from Dal'negorsk and the Herb Obodda dealer stock. One side of the mounded, sphalerite matrix is covered with small, lustrous, etched, mint-green, fluorite octahedrons. The helmet crest and other side feature very glassy, colorless, tabular, nailhead, calcite rhombs on the barely visible fluorite. Striking, pristine and most excellent combination material. Bright orange-pink and purple fluorescent.
