ELMWOOD CONTRAST AT ITS FINEST

ELMWOOD CONTRAST AT ITS FINEST

Some mineral combinations are simply timeless — and Elmwood Fluorite on Sphalerite is absolutely one of them.

A beautiful, sharply formed purple Fluorite cube sits dramatically atop a mass of intensely lustrous, nearly black Sphalerite from the legendary Elmwood Mine in Tennessee. The contrast on this piece is phenomenal.

That saturated purple immediately grabs your eye, but it’s the placement that really makes the specimen — perched high on the matrix like Mother Nature knew exactly where it belonged. Against the dark, reflective Sphalerite, the Fluorite absolutely GLOWS.

Sharp geometry. Killer luster. Incredible contrast. And one of America’s most iconic mineral localities.

A textbook Elmwood combination with serious presence.
