An aesthetic combination specimen from the Elmwood Mine. A 1.8 cm, lustrous, translucent, vivid deep purple fluorite cube is set atop sculptural, box-work matrix coated with sparkly, drusy calcite, which in turn, is richly covered with interesting, smaller fluorite cubes. The large cube has a striking, undamaged, negative impression from another fluorite crystal and unusual raised edges. Ex. Daniel Trinchillo Sr. Collection.
