Fluorite -etched edges and faces
Elmwood Mine, Carthage, Smith County
Tennessee, United States
2.4 x 1.8 x 1.4 (thumbnail)
price: $220
Worldwide mix summer
A tasteful thumbnail of zoned Fluorite showing very fine stepped and etched faces. From the Elmwood mine ex Larry White collection, this is a strong display piece with minimal matrix. In fine condition, there is a cleave on the backside (not seen) and a micro chip seen with magnification, otherwise pristine and now that the mine is closed there will be no more. It has been remarkable to many that this incredibly productive locale had so few good thumbnail sized specimens, everything was usually far larger and in most pockets nothing small was collected.
