Item Description

Mint-green, intergrown to isolated, frosted, translucent, stepped-growth, fluorite octahedrons are dramatically set on a large matrix covered with surreal, popcorn-like, drusy quartz stalactites. The impressive, large cluster is 4.2 x 4.0 and looks like a cuboctahedron. This is uncommon, old-time and most excellent combination material from the famous mines at Dal'negorsk. Super purple fluorescence. Valued at $1000-1250. Seldom on the market in this combination quality.
