Item Description

Classic, color-zoned, fluorite cubes form an excellent specimen from the famous Denton Mine. Intense, variable grape-purple interiors highlight the translucent crystals. Crystals faces are highly lustrous, with micro stepped-growth. A very trivial bit of hardly noticeable edge wear is noted to the large cube. There is even a stalk of amber fluorite poking out of the bottom. Classic, highly representative material from this noted locale, from the Wes Parker Collection.
