Item Description

Intergrown, penetration-twinned, translucent, lustrous, color-zoned, beautiful deep violet, fluorite cubes to 5.1 cm from the famous Denton Mine. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, this very showy cluster has trivial edgewear and bruising and is nicely accented with sphalerite crystals on one side. Classic Denton Mine material and mined in 1993 according to the former dealer label (he worked in the district as a geologist). MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
