Description

Here is a highly aesthetic Fluorite & Calcite combo from Dalnegorsk, Russia. The matrix has a bed of fine, pale-green, prasem quartz crystals. The fluorite cube are up to 5.5cm long, and are completely colorless with pale green deviation which is a defining characteristic of Dalnegorsk fluorites. This is fluorite in it's purest form of Calcium Fluoride - the lack of impurities is why it is so clear and colorless. Some of the crystals have a milky white translucency to them while others are clear as glass. Also among the quartz crystal are some iridiscent Pyrrhotite crystals.
