Fluorite circa 1980s ("ice cube" crystals) with phantom

Item Description

STUNNING crystals of ultra sharp water-clear, colorless Fluorite cubes or "Ice-cubes" often called "TV sets" by collectors in the 1990s when we first saw them. Classic old material! Unmistakably Dalnegorsk! The specimen is covered with glassy intergrown crystals on matrix that are so clear that you have to almost look twice to see them. There are two well formed high quality large cubes that dominate the display face with the front cube being 3.8 x 3.3 cm and the back at 4.8 x 4.8 cm. These cubes have unusual and impressive white phantoms that aide in allowing the Fluorites to stand out. The main dominating cubes are in near pristine condition with only trivial some periphery edge wear on the piece in whole (down at the bottom as we would display it, with perfect xls and phantom atop). Classic "PURE" Fluorite, lack of impurities to provide coloration, is quite rare in nature. This highly desirable collectable is a must for any Fluorite collector. A fantastic, showy and fine quality display specimen of the famous colorless Fluorites from Dalnegorsk production of the 1980s and early 1990s. Ex. Paul Zerfass Collection #97.
