Item Description
A very cute and colorful two-sided small cabinet combination from the famous Denton Mine. Glassy, gemmy, colorless calcite scalenohedrons, to 1.6 cm (doubly terminated), are artistically clustered on aesthetically intergrown splendent galena cubes. The cubes, to 2.8 cm, have gorgeous subtle rainbow iridesence, when bright light strikes the crystal faces at the certain angles. An outstanding example of the combination species from this locale from the Ross Lillie Collection # 2022. Self-collected by Ross in 1980.
