This is a superb small cabinet specimen from the famed Elmwood Mine, featuring a striking combination of fluorite and sphalerite in a highly aesthetic arrangement. Three well-formed fluorite cubes are prominently perched across a richly crystallized matrix of lustrous black sphalerite, creating a bold and balanced composition. The fluorite crystals display attractive purple zoning with good transparency to translucency, allowing light to softly illuminate their internal structure. Their sharp cubic form contrasts beautifully against the dark, reflective sphalerite, enhancing both color and visual depth. With its refined crystal quality, strong contrast, and classic Elmwood character, this specimen offers excellent display appeal and stands as a fine example from this renowned locality.
