Item Description
A very fine hexagonal calcite jewel from the famous mines at Dal'negorsk. The limpid sharp, colorless crystal is stunningly water-clear in the upper section, as is the nifty side car. Complete all-around. The termination is unusually rippled, but is pristine. Two corners are contacted, but there is no damage, per se. Bright pink fluorescence. Dal'negorsk, like Tsumeb, is renowned for calcite quality and diversity and this is a good one from the early 1990s finds, as the label say Tetjuche-Pristan valued $400
