Hi Dany, I'm sorry to have some doubts that this specimen is from Dalnegorsk. Sure, there are many many kinds of fluorites and combinations with sulfides from that giant deposit. But it is one of my favourite localities and I must confess that I never saw anything like that from Dalnegorsk.
No guarantee, just a doubt!

Hi Dany,
I had a similar thought to Tobi when I first saw your fluorite from Dalnegrosk. I have been a collector of Dalnegorsk minerals for more than 30 years and I have never seen a combination specimen of fluorite and pyrite like this. The spherical pyrites on the fluorite make it look more like the ones from El Hammam Mine in Morocco. Nice specimen in any case.
Michael

| Similar fluorite combination with pyrite is also found in Moscona Mine, Asturias, Spain.

| I agree with Michael and Josele, Moscona and El Hammam were my first thoughts, maybe also Freiberg ... maybe you could provide a photo of the matrix?

HiTobi, Michael and Josele,
I had some doubts too when I posted the photo. I'll take a picture of the back this weekend.
Thank you for your comments.
Have a nice evening.

My immediate thought was Villabona (which includes the Moscona and other mines - Santo Firme, etc)
This if from there https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=61276#61276

It reminded me too a Mina Moscona fluorite due to the spherical pyrite.
But I haven’t said anything because I don’t know enough about Dalnegorsk’s pieces.
Nice last photos Dany.

hi, sample n ° 64 page 3, sulfur and aragonite comes from the Cozzo Disi mine, Casteltermini, Agrigento and most likely it is calcite not aragonite of course from the photo I can't be sure.
