18th century Italian gilded Rococo flower fragment mounted on a calcite crystal formation. The gilded fragment originally came from a historical church in Italy. 

The calcite crystal formation comes from Elmwood Mine, Tennessee which is known for the world's finest crystallized calcite. With the unusual formation of sphalerite, it is unequaled by those from any other part of the world (referenced from the "American Mineral Treasure" book, pg. 337). The weight of the crystal is 2.5 lbs. It is a museum specimen along with the historical angel artifact. 

The elements create historic and organic, sculptural work of art.
