Item Description

An outstanding and aesthetic combination miniature from Dalnegorsk and the Ed Bancroft Collection. A gorgeous, intergrown cluster of water-clear, "invisible", fluorite cuboctahedrons is strikingly complimented by the 1.6 cm, oxide-coated, quartz obelisk. The fluorite crystal edge faces are frosted, which really adds character. A very fine, pristine, specimen with 360-degree charm and many possible display views. These were available for only a short time in the 1990s in this combination quality and are highly desirable. Ex Ed Bancroft Collection.
