A gorgeous and highly aesthetic green color-zoned fluorite cube on manganoan calcite from Dalnegorsk, Russia. This area has produced some of the world’s finest and most desirable fluorites – and is noted for it’s “ice cube” colorless fluorites. This lovely green fluorite, likely from the Nikolaevskiy Mine, is another iconic and rather rare style of fluorite from Dalnegorsk. Really wonderful aesthetics on this specimen. A standout fluorite.

Calcite from Dalnegorsk, Russia
Dalnegorsk is one of those mineral names that experienced collectors read almost as a guarantee of sharp form, strong association, and geological complexity. Calcite from the district is not a single “look,” but a family of looks: water-clear trigonal prisms, pale honey to colorless scalenohedra, pink manganese-bearing crystals, flattened rhombohedral plates, nailhead forms, and complex multi-generation pieces in which one calcite habit overgrows another. The best examples have a crispness that feels almost engineered—bright faces, glassy transparency, and a habit vocabulary broad enough that two Dalnegorsk calcites can appear to have come from different countries.
