A fine pair of interpenetrating twin Fluorite crystals from the Elmwood Mine. The largest crystal is 1.6 x 1.3 x 1.2 cm, and the pair has a small amount of matrix in the back. The pair has classic Elmwood zoning, as well as the typical high-luster, gently stepped faces that are very indicative of Elmwood. What is unusual, and extremely attractive, is the purplish-red color, as most are purple or clear. Ex. Charlie Key.
