Fluorite, Sphalerite

You would be amazed at how quickly Elmwood stuff has disappeared from the market following the closing of the mine, and the prices are going straight up. This specimen features three main fluorites with some little ones, on sphalerite. The largest crystal shows one of the unique gemmy yellow corners that are characteristic of the larger purple fluorites from this mine, sometimes cut into gemstones (this crystal has a contact on the back where the piece was removed from matrix, but all crystals are complete on the display face). The large crystal is about 3.5 cm on edge, the smaller ones about 2.5. 7.0 x 4.7 x 4.2 cm
