A big, rich specimen from the now-closed Elmwood, featuring over a dozen limpid purple crystals of fluorite on a mound of crystalline, deep red sphalerite. The fluorites have this superb silky luster you sometimes see in these, that is so desirable. The largest crystal measures 2.8 cm, and has a distinct phantom in it, which is uncommon for Elmwood!
