Fluorite, Sphalerite & Calcite (Ross Lillie Coll.)

Item Description

A sculptural and aesthetic large combination from the famous Denton Mine and the Ross Lillie Collection # 1775. Gemmy, pretty blush-purple fluorite cubes with frosted faces, faint dark purple edge phantoms and a few scattered tiny golden chalcopyrite sphenoids frame a striking, contrasting, elongated cluster of sharp, highly lustrous, sphalerite crystals, to 1.8 cm, and topped with glassy, gemmy, light straw-yellow calcite crystals. Pristine. Mined in January, 1989 and collected by Ronnie Martin (miner) from the north face of the "Wafer" pod.
