Item Description

Beautiful purple edge phantoms are just one of the many highlights of this very aesthetic fluorite combination from the famous Denton Mine. The very glassy, bi-colored cube has a transparent, pretty light lavender exterior above a creamy to light amber core. The stunning stepped-growth faces of the interior are dramatically accented by the starkly contrasting golden chalcopyrite crystals. Oustanding and excellent combination material from the Ross Lillie Collection # 1906 and mined in 1989. Faint purple fluorescence.
