Item Description
The Elmwood Mine has only produced a handful of species, but these specimens remain as some of the most recognizable minerals in the world. I would say that one of the more unusual and desirable Fluorite varietals from the Elmwood Mine are the etched Fluorite corners, that create almost "scepter" like growths. This piece does have a bit of edge-wear but is complete all-around with the classic two color - lilac and yellow - appearance along with the amazing gemminess - nearly water clear - that makes these pieces so desirable. If you collect Fluorites, and you've always wanted a little reference specimen of this material, look no further.
