A very fine and aesthetic fluorite on sphalerite specimen from the Elmwood Mine. A large, 5.7 x 5.3 cm cube has gemmy, colorless to white interior and classic, outer purple zones. The cube faces are lustrous and have the typical, stepped-growth faces. The corners are starting to get gemmy, another hallmark of Elmwood fluorites. The fluorite is very nearly pristine. Ex. Consie Prince Collection.
