ELMWOOD 2002 SC

Partial dark purple fluorite cube from the Gordonsville shaft in the Elmwood, Tennessee mining complex. The base is contacted with some massive sphalerite also showing and there are a couple of cleaves to the fluorite that are visible when displayed at certain angles. When held up to a light there is some purple coloring but overall the crystal is pretty dark. A couple of nicks are also present on a few crystal edges. While this is not necessarily a specimen I would recommend for the true mineral collector, it does exhibit good crystalline structure for fluorite and displays good on its own.
