Item Description

Most of the Fluorites we've seen from Dal'negorsk are cubic in habit, so to see cuboctahedral 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. A mix of cubic and cuboctahedral "ice"-like VERY gemmy crystals make up this miniature specimen. Good quality overall with no significant damage on the display side, but contacted on the back.
