Fluorite from USA, Tennessee, Elmwood Mine

A commanding Elmwood fluorite built around one massive, deeply saturated cube perched on a highly lustrous black sphalerite matrix. The crystal carries a complex mix of violet, smoky purple, root-beer brown, and warm golden tones, all shifting as the light moves through it.

Fine stepped etching runs across the broad faces and continues directly through the prominent Carthage corner, giving the cube a layered, architectural look. Inside that corner, honey, amber, and pale gold seem to glow beneath the darker purple framing, creating a window-like effect into the crystal.
