The Nikolaevskiy Mine in Dal'negorsk is world-famous for its water clear Fluorites, which are usually in cubes. These, however, are dodecahedrons modified by both the cube (square faces) and the octahedron (triangular faces). An unusual and rather amazing habit, especially for the locality. The largest crystal is about 2.5 cm across, and of course they are water-clear and lustrous. Combined with Quartz needles and bladed Calcites. Ex. Charlie Key stock.
