Description

A large cabinet sized specimen of clear fluorite from Dalnegorsk. The fluorites are perfect crystallized all over the front with a sharp termination and very high luster. The crystals are waterclear, so you can see through and the rest of the matrix under the crystals. The specimen is undamaged and very impressive! Only the back had rock-contact, but you can't see it from the display-side. It's quite hard to take good photos of clear fluorite, so expect a better specimen in person. No damage.
