Item Description

Most of the Fluorites we've seen from Dal'negorsk are cubic in habit, so to see octahedral crystals is certainly interesting and unusual. Most people are familiar with green cubes and the famous colorless "ice" cubes from Dal'negorsk, but this piece has a less common habit. Green octahedral crystals of Fluorite up to 2.6 cm sit atop Quartz crystal matrix creating an eye-catching cabinet display specimen. Good quality overall with no significant damage that I can see with the naked eye.
