7992964

Elmwood mine, Smith Co., Tennessee, USA
description:
A large cluster of attractive partly gemmy lustrous fluorite crystals, the largest crystals are measuring to 8.5 cm on edge. An amber colored glassy scalenohedral crystals of calcite measuring 2.2 cm in length is present as well. There are several areas along the outer edges of the piece with cleaved crystals, I believe that these were areas where other crystals were present and are now gone. Outside of this, the piece is in very good condition.
