Item Description

Beautifully gemmy, color-zoned fluorite cubes are aesthetically clustered on the rubyjack sphalerite matrix on this very fine and showy combination from the famous Denton Mine. The limpid, very glassy cubes, to 2.2 cm, have light straw-yellow cores with pretty light blue edges. The lustrous, partially translucent rubyjack sphalerites are richly peppered with tiny sharp brassy chalcopyrite sphenoids. Excellent combination material, with multiple display possibilities from the Sandy Ludlum Collection.
