Item Description
An impressive, gem, facet-like, 3.8 x 3.8 x 2.0 cm, amber calcite rhomb is aesthetically set on a gorgeous, glassy, cornflower-blue fluorite cube. The highly translucent and lustrous fluorite has dense and nifty, stepped-growth faces. The striking rhomb is complete all-around and has just a couple of spots of gentle bruising. Classic, above average combination material from the famous Denton Mine, well-known for fine calcite specimens. Purple fluorescence.
