Fluorite

Dalnegorsk, Russia - 10x8x6 cm

 

 

If you look at the photo without care, you'll probably wonder about this strange yellow rock with a little spray of white calcite elements. Look better! It's just a perfect fluorite cube from Dalnegorsk. This specimen defines on its own the concept of "transparency". The crystal can become really invisible by locating the lights and the camera (or your eyes) in a suitable way, even though the side of the cube is over 1 cm. No damage on this incredible specimen!
