Superb and uncommon, very glassy, transparent, light purple fluorite dodecahedrons to 1.6 cm are scattered on matrix covered with glassy, colorless quartz crystals and nicely accented with calcite rosettes. A superb combination piece from the Nikolaevskiy Mine at Dal'negorsk. Note that the fluorites are even more interesting for their wispy inclusions of what seems to be acicular quartz, grown through them like needles into the purple depths.
