Item Description
A 2.2 cm, beautiful golden calcite scalenohedron with striated faces is aesthetically set on a sculptural intergrown cluster of color-zoned fluorite cubes from the famous Denton Mine. The lustrous, transparent cubes, to 2.4 cm, have satin luster faces. Viewed through a broken side reveals the very light blue outer zone, a striking sharp purple phantom with a typical amber core. The lightly bruised tip to the calcite is certainly only a modest detraction to this classic and cute Denton Mine combination. Golden calcite fluorescence and modest purple fluorite fluorescence.
