Gemmy, "invisible," water-clear, intergrown, cuboctahedral fluorite crystals to 2.5 cm form an aesthetic cluster atop a shard of matrix on this specimen from the Nikolaevskiy Mine at Dal'negorsk. All of the fluorite crystals on the frontal and top views are pristine and the secondary crystal faces are very interestingly, preferentially etched. Common in the 1990s, these are hard to fine today in good specimens.
