Item Description
A beautiful, gemmy and lustrous, 3.7 cm doubly terminated golden-yellow calcite scalenohedron is dramatically set on matrix covered with smaller calcite on this very aesthetic 360-degree small cabinet from the famous Denton Mine. Complete all-around, this striking calcite is nearly pristine. The front is pristine (those are internal refractions you see). Trivial bruising to two edges on the back side are out-of-sight on this very fine calcite. More smaller calcites on the bottom with a 1.4 cm section of a dark purple fluorite cube are a nice bonus. Classic and excellent Denton Mine calcite from the Ted Bartels Collection.
