Item Description
An exceptional large combination specimen from an older, small, one-time find at the famous Nikolaevskiy Mine. The impressive, 5.3 cm, gemmy and lustrous, very pretty mint-green fluorite cube is aesthetically set amidst stacked clusters of pretty, pastel-pink, manganoan calcite rhombs. The color and glassiness of this pristine translucent cube is first-rate. This fluorite color is one of THE most desirable and uncommon Dal'negorsk varietals. Both the fluorite and calcite fluoresce, light purple for the fluorite and reddish-orange for the calcite. Fairly valued at $2500 and well worth it. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
