Item Description

Dalnegorsk has been a source of fantastic crystallized mineral specimens for many years, including a multitude of Fluorites, found in a variety of colors and styles. This piece is a wonderful display specimen featuring a VERY GEMMY, light green colored cubic crystal group, with individual crystals measuring 2.1 cm on edge, aesthetically sitting atop a matrix composed of crystallized white Calcite, with minor accenting brown-black Sphalerite for a nice touch of contrast. The Fluorite group is undamaged, and perfectly centered at the middle-top portion of the piece. The specimen sits quite nicely on its own and can be display from a few angles. A gorgeous Dalnegorsk Fluorite with excellent color and quality. Previously valued on the former dealer label at $2,500, and I could make a case that it could be even a little higher today.
