This is a specimen of razor-sharp, glass-clear OCTAHEDRONS of fluorite from Dal'negorsk - beautifully isolated on a matrix with a covering of a rusty-red iron mineral that provides the perfect backdrop for them. The fluorites measure to 1.8 cm. I assure you that you do NOT see these with any Russian dealers anymore - any old stock they had of them is long gone, and they do not reappear on the market out of collections often either.
