Item Description
A spectacular, large, floater combination specimen from the Denton Mine and the Dick Heck Collection. Glistening, jewel-like, calcite rhombs are festooned on the dramatic, 3-dimensional, purple fluorite matrix. The stunning focal point is the gorgeous, 3.0 cm on the diagonal, amber calcite jewel. A few smaller amber crystals are a super accent. Many more calcites are noted on the back and base, with the large rhomb on the back being 2.5 cm. This is an amazing, large, pristine, floater specimen, that displays superbly without aid. Purple fluorescence. Fairly valued at $2000.
