Item Description
Denton Mine fluorite of this style is extremely rare, possibly unique. The striking, intensely stepped-growth, intergrown fluorite cubes look like the overlapping flaps of a closed cardboard box. The fluorite is very juicy, translucent, has pretty light purple color and rests on rubyjack sphalerite matrix. A really nifty and highly unusual Denton fluorite. Light purple fluorescece. Ex Dick Heck Collection.
