Fluorite with Dolomite on Quartz

Item Description

Despite the fact that there are only a handful of minerals found at the Elmwood mine, they 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 a few sharp, GEM/gemmy, beautiful purple color, cubic crystals of Fluorite measuring up to 1.5 cm on edge sitting on matrix with small white Dolomite and micro Quartz. A classic example of an Elmwood Fluorite. Excellent quality with only the slightest bit of edge wear. This piece is close to 30 years old, and is a worthwhile display piece especially coming from this prominent and celebrated zinc ore body!
