Item Description
A 3.0 x 3.0 x 3.0 cm, pristine fluorite cube is jauntily perched on a matrix of flattened calcite rhombs from the famous mines at Dal"negorsk. The lustrous, translucent pastel-green cube has frosted faces and slightly modified corners. The internal crazing reflects light, making the crystal look like an octahedron. The large calcite rhomb is 3.7 cm and has just a bit of bruising and periphery wear on the back edge. Showy and excellent classic combination material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock.
