An aesthetic CABINET plate nicely covered with clusters of sea-green fluorite cubes to 2.3 cm from the First Sovietskiy Mine at Dal'negorsk. The cubes are highly lustrous and interestingly, some of the cube faces are preferentially frosted, while others are water-clear. The top face on the large cube is frosted and 3 of the 4 side faces are water-clear. Strange. The matrix is nicely accented with an abundance of tiny calcite rhombs. Mined in September, 2001. New Dal'negorsk material has about disappeared from the market.
