The Elmwood lead-zinc mine in Tennessee,USA was established in 1969. After entering into the 21st century,the Elmwood mine has shut down many times for different reasons. As a result,high-quality minerals from here became very rare in recent years.
On this specimen,we can find different sizes of cubic purplish fluorites grow side by side with the dark brownish sphalerites,and this is the typical characteristic which the minerals from Elmwood Mine carry. The fluorite has beautiful luster,and its crystal has been perfectly generated. The combination of the purple and the brown provides people noble and elegant feelings,and granting this specimen a high ornamental and collection value.
