Glassy, transparent and colorless, octahedral and cuboctahedral fluorite crystals are clustered on this fine cabinet combination specimen from the 2nd Sovietskii Mine at Dal'negorsk. The striking complete-all-around and pristine cluster at the top of the piece is 5.3 cm (over 2 inches) across and fluorite crystals reach 3.7 cm. Flesh-colored calcite disks cover the matrix and are a nice compliment. Classic material from Dal'negorsk. Probably from the 1990s.
