An aesthetic thumbnail of a lustrous, lightly etched, highly modified "invisible" fluorite cuboctahedron resting on and around translucent to milky quartz crystals. The fluorite cuboctahedron grew over and encases many quartz needles. "Invisible" fluorite is unique to the Nikolaevskiy Mine at Dalnegorsk and are much sought after. A couple of broken quartz needles certainly do not detract from this beautiful piece. MUCH BETTER In PERSON, as the light etching clouds the interior of the fluorite crystal in the photos. 3.0 x 3.0 x 2.5 cm
