Intergrown, water-clear, "invisible," cuboctahedral fluorite crystals are very aesthetically strewn along the crest of the matrix on this outstanding, two-sided specimen from the Nikolaevskiy Mine at Dal'negorsk. The crystal interiors have beautiful rainbows in good light. Specimens of this quality came out in the early 1990s and are now available only from recycled collections. This piece is in amazingly good condition, as the fluorite crystal cluster is pristine. Ex. Ryan Bowling Collection.
