Item Description

An old-time and aesthetic Elmwood thumbnail of a complete all-around and pristine fluorite cube jauntily perched on rubyjack sphalerite. The fluorite has intense, stepped-growth faces, giving a flashy, scintiallating look and classic, darker purple, edge phantoms surrounding the near-colorless core. A classic and outstanding combination specimen from the famous and now-closed Elmwood Mine.
