Cave Aragonite (fluorescent) Trimingham Coll.

Item Description

Cave aragonites of this large size and quality are rare from this important and historic mining district and are especially rare from this mine. This is a striking 360-degree column of arborescent, sugary stalactites with fine form. Every turn presents a different perspective. It looks like a snow-covered Christmas tree! Nearly pristine for such a soft mineral with very few bruised stalactites. The termination is pristine. Light green creamy fluoresence. Minor green malachite is noted in the broken base. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
