Item Description

A fine example of the amazingly limpid, "invisible" fluorite cubes from Dalnegorsk. The clarity of this piece is first class and gives the striking "garden effect", when you look in to the interior toward the base. Galena is attached to the back of the cube. A bit of edgewear is noted, as is contacting lower on one side, but there is relatively little actual bruising. This is an excellent example of the species varietal and locale. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. He valued this piece at $400, around ten years ago, when these came out.
