A classic Elmwood combo piece featuring a one-centimeter purple fluorite along with a few smaller one, on a matrix of sharp, lustrous sphalerite crystals, with accenting Baryte. You can see the sphalerite ore below, on which the crystals formed; this ore is what contained the zinc that was the whole reason for this mine, sadly closed recently, resulting in a rapidly diminishing availability of specimens. 6.5 x 5 x 3.5 cm
