Item Description

A 3.5 cm, pristine, doubly terminated, color-zoned calcite crystal with satin lustre faces is dramatically set upright on the corner of a beautiful color-zoned fluorite cube and is nicely accented with more calcite crystals. The very glassy, gemmy/translucent cube has striking rich golden-amber color with classic, gem sky-blue edge phantoms. Included brassy, bright chalcopyrite sphenoids are a classic accessory to this showy and excellent combination from the famous Denton Mine. Some of the secondary calcites have broken tips, but this remains a very fine, highly aesthetic and representative combination example of this varietal from this well-known mine.
