Fluorite Specimen #Rus04 Nickolaevsky Mine Dal'negorsk Primorsky Kray Russia 8.5x5.3x3.4cm Small Cabinet Mildly Fluorescent $95 This fluorite xl's on this specimen are pure gem!  This piece is made up of a sedimentary matrix covered with numerous calcite xl's to 2mm with dozens of ice cube like fluorite xl's to 1.5cm covering the calcite.  The calcite on this piece glows pinkish red when subjected to SW UV light.  Specimens of this quality are becoming ever harder to find, and if you do, they don't come cheap.  To mind, this is a beautiful specimen!

	Fluorite Specimen #Rus05 First Sovietsky mine Dal'negorsk Primorsky Kray Russia 7.7x4.8x3.0cm Small Cabinet $95 The First Sovietsky mine closed close to 50 years ago so what's out there is it! This is a wonderful green octahedral fluorite specimen with minor amounts of quartz and a partial coating of druzy quartz. The major fluorite xl measures 2.8x2.8cm and appears to be damage free except for what I believe to be a contact point.

	Pyrrhotite and Quartz Specimen #Rus06 Nickolaevsky Mine Dal'negorsk Primorsky Kray Russia 5.2x3.9x2.1cm Large Miniature ex Ernie Schlichter Collection Here's a very interesting specimen from the Russian Far East.  It occurs in igneous and metamorphic rocks and the xl's are platy to tabular or bipyramidal.  You could easily display this specimen from either side as I find either one just as attractive as the other.

	Sulfur Specimen #Rus09 Vodino deposit Samara (Region) Russia 5.8x4.8x4.8cm Small Cabinet $50 This is probably one of the gemmiest and brightest colored sulfur specimens I've ever come across.  I purchased it from Dimitry Belakovsky in Tucson.  Dimitry is the curator of the Fersman Mineralogical Museum in Moscow, Russia.  If you ever get to Moscow, I would highly recommend a visit.  The sulfur cluster measures 2.3cm across and is nestled within a vug lined with  quartz xl's.  A very attractive display specimen!
