About the Item

18th century Italian mecca processional cross on a calcite crystal base in matrix with coordinating baroque pearls. The calcite crystal cluster in matrix is from Elmwood Mine in Tennessee. It is an example of the world’s finest crystallized calcite. With the unusual formation of sphalerite, it is unequaled by those from any other part of the world (featured in American Mineral Treasures, pg. 337). These minerals are formed from the chemical precipitation of calcium carbonate and zinc. The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the Italian cross is originally 18th century. The Italian cross is persevered and mounted into a figurative work of old and new with the precious minerals - creating a contemporary work of historic signifance.
