Fluorite is prized for its wide range of colors and crystal habits, and the mines of Dal’negorsk are among the most celebrated sources for sharply formed green and colorless examples of exceptional luster and transparency. This outstanding specimen consists of a massive primary crystal accompanied by secondary, intergrown crystals, all displaying exacting edges and precise morphology. The overall translucency and clarity are remarkable, allowing light to penetrate deeply into the crystal.
The color is an ethereal seafoam green that is accented by a distinct teal zone that punctuates the geometry of the crystal faces, and adds visual depth. The piece evokes an aquatic quality, as though peering into an aquarium. Both characteristic of the Dal’negorsk district and singular in its scale and presence, this specimen ranks among the finest fluorites from the locality, combining impressive size, refined crystallography, and striking color into a truly exceptional display piece.
