Item Description

This is a beautiful and showy display specimen from Dalnegorsk featuring very sharp, GEM QUALITY, soft green colored octahedron of Fluorite.

There are a few small imperfections on the display side, but the piece is in very good condition all around, and displays beautifully as you can see from the photos. Priced at $1,200 in the inventory. If you collect Fluorites or minerals of Russia don't miss out on this attractive piece from this prodigious specimen producing area. These pieces seemingly have dried up, and they will go down as some of the most iconic and beautiful display quality Fluorites from any Russian locality. From the collection of Kurt Hefendehl (#543 RU), a well-known German collector all over Europe with worldwide contacts to dealers and collectors. He started collecting seriously at the age of 14 and his great and varied worldwide collection reached over 6000 pieces. He was very active mineralogically until shortly before his passing in 2020 at the age of 82. Considering his collection had a large number of pieces, it still had an unusually high standard of quality from most worldwide localities. He particularly specialized in all classics as well as minerals of the Black Forest, where he spent much time collecting. His Black Forest and German subcollections went to his good friend Wolfgang Wendel. We at The Arkenstone have the privilege of offering the remainder of this great worldwide collection over the next two to three years through our various platforms.
