Item Description

Gemmy, "invisible", water-clear, intergrown, cubic fluorite crystals to 3.0 cm form a shapely cluster accented with a bit of matrix on this showy specimen from the very famous Nikolaevskiy Mine at Dalnegorsk. The very light green crystals have preferential lightly frosted top faces. Scattered bruising and a few cleaved corners are noted. This remains a rich and aesthetic example of the species. Common in the 1990s, these are hard to fine today in good specimens. These are considered contemporary classics. Bright fluorescence. Ex Larry Krause dealer stock. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
