A PERFECT cube of deep purple-blue fluorite from the Elmwood Mine, now closed for good. This crystal is absolutely flawless, and was trimmed out beautifully, with just a bit of accenting matrix attached. I overheard a dealer at the recent Costa Mesa spring show saying he felt Elmwood fluorites are still some of the most underrated minerals around, but this is changing very quickly with the closing of the mine..the good pieces just are not around anymore. 4.4 x 4.2 x 3.3 cm
