Item Description
A striking, sculptural, LARGE CABINET, combination specimen from the famous Denton Mine. Gemmy, amber, complex calcite rhombs to 2.0 are very attractively scattered as isolated crystals or in clusters on the dramtically shaped cluster of rich purple fluorite cubes above the classic amber fluorite core. The fabulous, stepped-growth of some faces compared to the impressive straignt edge of the huge, 8.3 cm cube is very imposing. This is oustanding large and unusual combination material from this noted locale closed in 1993, which really has only minimal periphery wear. Valued at $1250-1500.
