A dramatic quartet of minerals from the legendary Elmwood Mine. This 218g specimen is a masterclass in contrast, featuring deep royal-purple Fluorite cubes perched atop a dark, multifaceted matrix of metallic Galena and resinous black Sphalerite. We curated this piece for its rich color saturation and the delicate dusting of sparkling Quartz drusy that adds a fine, crystalline shimmer to the surface. As production at the Elmwood Mine becomes a part of mineral history, these multi-species specimens stand as iconic artifacts of one of the world's most significant fluorspar districts. It is a powerful, high-contrast display piece that embodies the raw elegance of Tennessee geology.
