The largest crystal on this specimen measures almost 4 cm across the edge, and like the other crystals, is as clear as green glass! They are razor-sharp and undamaged, too. Despite the flow of fluorites from China, really superb large plates such as this remain QUITE the exception, are very desirable and stunningly eye-catching. I mean, an 18-cm plate of big, superb, clear crystals? What would this cost from Dalnegorsk. The crystals here, unlike with many specimens, are well-isolated, and stand well out from the matrix. Contacts are limited to the periphery. A sprinkling of small white quartz crystals on the matrix provides a nice contrasting backdrop for the crystals. We have all seen tons of fluorite from china of many varieties, but this recent batch is one of my favorites yet. 18.5 x 11 x 5.2 cm
