Fluorite from USA, Tennessee, Elmwood Mine

A striking specimen featuring sharply defined purple fluorite cubes (largest measures 1.37cm) perched against a contrasting matrix of lustrous sphalerite and fine druzy quartz. The fluorite displays classic Elmwood character—rich violet saturation, crisp geometry, and excellent translucency that glows when backlit. Subtle internal zoning adds depth and dimension, giving the crystal a luminous, glassy presence.

The sphalerite matrix provides a dramatic counterpoint: dark, resinous luster with well‑formed crystal faces that anchor the fluorite visually and structurally. Scattered micro‑quartz druse adds a delicate sparkle across the surface, enhancing the overall aesthetic and giving the piece a refined, multi‑textured finish.

This is an elegant, well‑balanced example from one of the world’s most iconic fluorite localities—ideal for collectors who appreciate strong color, clean form, and classic Elmwood associations.
