Fluorite with Sphalerite
specimen number:
4971135
location:
Elmwood mine, Smith Co., Tennessee, USA
description:
Lustrous purple gemmy cubic crystals of fluorite measuring to 1.7 cm on edge scattered across the top of this lustrous black sphalerite crystal matrix. Minimal micro-cleaving is present, one would almost need a loupe in order to see that. I think the piece is in good condition.
