Item Description
Glassy, transparent and colorless, octahedral and cuboctahedral fluorite crystals are dramatically clustered on this very showy mounded CABINET combination specimen from the famous 2nd Sovietskiy Mine at Dalnegorsk. The striking complete all-around and pristine cluster at the top of the piece is 5.3 cm (OVER 2 INCHES!) across and fluorite crystals reach 3.7 cm. Flesh-colored calcite disks cover the matrix and are a nice compliment. The frontal display is pristine. Classic material from Dalnegorsk. Probably from the 1990s. Valued $900
