With the mine now closed for good, Elmwood specimens have dried up on the market. This specimen features a multitude of light purple cubes to just over 1 cm, on a matrix of sparkly sphalerite (the zinc ore that was the reason for the Elmwood Mine in the first place). The specimen is in very good shape, with only a couple of very minor and hard-to-see dings. From the noted collection of Paul Jung, dispersed last year in Denver. 11 x 7 x 4.5 cm
