A gorgeous large plate with nice form overall and an almost silky sheen, superb for the material! Probably the most "blue" of the lot, in terms of outright color appeal. It is thereofre the prettiest piece here, I would say, of the larger specimens.
ex. Charlie Key
Minor damage, hence the low price for this large plate with good crystals and coverage!

A large, very good plate with sharp crystals and good color

A fine representative example of this rare pseudomorph, with sharp crystals on matrix.
ex. Charlie Key
A cute miniature with bizarrely ghostly-colored crystals on one side, and darker crystals on the other, showing two zones of fluorite on either side of the matrix. Super example without breaking the bank!

A reference example of this material
ex. Charlie Key
A cute toenail sized, colorful, reference specimen of this material. Quite nice, really!
ex. Charlie Key
A huge, elongated, dramatic specimen just covered with deeply colored, sharp crystals! Probably worth more broken into thirds, but I liked the rarity of the size here.
ex. Charlie Key
A large, very good plate with sharp crystals and good color - but also with more 3-dimensional surface geometry than ost of them here. Nice display specimen!

A dramatic specimen with good color and excellent coverage, showing a bit of matrix underneath a solid carpet of good crystals. Nice display specimen!
ex. Charlie Key
Some damage at the edges, and hence the low price...but still a good core area of highly representative, pretty crystals! And a lot of altered fluorite for the price, overall.

This locality is noted for classic rich pink fluorite on quartz, just as you see here. Several octahedral crystals of color-zoned, rich pink, translucent, fluorite, to 1.5 cm across are aesthetically perched on a colorless, gemmy, lustrous, crystal of quartz which reaches 7.0 cm in length. From this locality (or several in the immediate area), the quartz is sometimes colorless and not smoky as you often see form elsewhere in Switzerland. With teh pink on teh white, it makes for a whole different contrast than the usual pink-on-smoky situation. Very nice display specimen !

In the early 1990痴, good minerals from Dal地egorsk were plentiful, but today most of the mines there are closed, making specimens such as this one sell at a premium if they turn up at all. This is from one of the older mines there, and the gem-green variety was always rare even back then. The pastel green color, total transparency, and high luster of the large fluorite cube is superb. That crystal is almost 1 inch across! It can probably be trimmed to an even better balanced miniature . The most accurate shot for color is the photo in the upper-left.
