Item Description

A sculptural and impressive large combination fluorite and quartz plate from the famous Nikolaevskiy Mine. Limpid, colorless, cuboctahedral fluorite crystals to 3.7 cm have nifty, preferentially water-clear to frosted/etched faces. The oxide-tinted quartz points to 4.0 cm, in striking and very artistic jackstraw fashion are enveloped or are attached to the fluorite and are a super compliment. The fluorites are in great shape and only one inconsequential broken quartz point is noted in the interior of the piece. A very fine quality combination piece from late mining, in 2006, more this noted Dalnegorsk locale. Valued at $650.
