Item Description
The Denton Mine is renowned for the finest Southern Illinois calcite specimens and this is an outstanding example. A beautiful, 5.3 cm, lustrous and translucent, amber scalenohedron is aesthetically perched on the curved matrix crust. The tonal variations within the calcite are striking and really enhance the presentation. This cutie is pristine. Ex Dick Heck Collection. Valued at $600-800 and worth it. Denton pieces of this quality are very seldom on the market.
