Fluorite on Sphalerite (ex Arnaud Collection)

Item Description

Despite the fact that there are only a handful of minerals found at the Elmwood Mine, some of them are among the most recognizable minerals in the world. The classic purple Fluorites are a favorite among collectors, and it's easy to see why. This piece features sharp, gemmy, purple cubic crystals of Fluorite measuring up to 2.8 cm on edge smartly perched atop a mound of crystallized reddish-brown Sphalerite. A classic example of an Elmwood Fluorite on matrix. Overall the piece is in very good condition with only a few slights nicks. Priced at $500 in the inventory. From the collection of Colorado collector, John Arnaud.
