Summary

Description
English: Fluorite, Galena
Locality: Nikolaevskiy Mine, Dal'negorsk (Dalnegorsk; Tetyukhe; Tjetjuche; Tetjuche), Primorskiy Kray, Far-Eastern Region, Russia (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: cabinet, 10.8 x 8.5 x 5 cm
Fluorite with Galena on matrix
This is a specimen I first handled in the late 90s and had tried to get back for years, before I was able to trade it back from Joe Freilich around 2002. Then I sold it again and got it back again, last month. It is SPECTACULAR! This specimen is one of my absolute favorites from the find of ice-clear, water-clean, transparent fluorites that camne out briefly from this mine. It is a large, impressive piece with extremely high-quality crystals, showing good relief. The largest crystal measures to 4 cm on edge! There are pristine, or as near to as you could ask for anyhow. The fluorites rest on a beautfiful matrix culminating in an elegant and contrasting galena crystal that is elongated and twists from left to right behind and underneath the fluorites. You can look right through the fluorite to the galena. MOST specimens from this pocket were simply "on matrix" and but this is on matrix with STYLE. I had not seen others even remotely similar. Also, most specimens from this pocket were stacks of closely touching crystals and this is unusual for the isolation of the crystals, and their relative individuality. It is a spectacular specimen for a colorless crystal, and has always been one of my alltime favorite Dalnegorsk specimens
