Item Description

A striking and very nifty combination specimen from the famous Denton Mine. A 1.6 cm, super-sharp, lustrous, twinned, jet-black, sphalerite crystal frames one edge of the piece. The classic, glassy, light purple fluorite cube has an impressive, stepped, fortification face infilled with glassy, light amber calcite crystals accented with microcrystals of gemmy, rubyjack sphalerite and brassy chalcopyrite. The frontal face of this piece is truly damatic. Ex Larry Krause dealer stock.
