Purple Fluorite accented with ivory color barite and two tiny calcite crystals
from the very famous classic mineral location Elmwood Mine, Carthage, Tennessee
Dimensions (mm): 55 x 40 x 25
Dimensions (inches): 2.2 x 1.6 x 1
Mined in the late 70's/early 80's.
Many attempts have been made to go back into the Elmwood mine for mineral specimens all to be thwarted by economic conditions. It is a tremendously expensive mine to operate and the current owner do not allow mineral collecting. A few specimens "crept out" in 2010-2011 but that was met with swift action of absolute no tolerance from the current owners. The mine is a zinc mine.
