Fluorite on drusy Calcite (D.Trinchillo Sr. Coll.)

Item Description

A aesthetic combination specimen from the famous and now-closed Elmwood Mine. A 1.8 cm, lustrous, translucent, vivid deep purple fluorite cube is jauntily set atop sculptural, boxwork matrix coated with sparkly, drusy calcite, which in turn, is richly covered with nifty, smaller fluorite cubes. The large cube has a striking, undamaged, negative impression from another fluorite crystal and unusual raised edges. The edgewear is a modest detraction to this very showy piece from the Daniel Trinchillo Sr. Collection. Comes with a custom-made and labeled lucite base valued at $100 alone
