Item Description

Isolated and clustered, sharp, colorless, water-clear fluorite cuboctahedrons with frosted faces on the highly unusual mounded matrix of skeletal drusy quartz, that has mostly dissolved away siderite nodules. The fluorites reach 2.3 cm on this very showy and highly unusual combination from the famous mines at Dal'negorsk. The fluorites are pristine, with several having contacted areas, but no damage, per se. Valued at $450 for rare style and quality.
