Fluorite-with-Enargite, Sphalerite, Chalcopyrite
specimen number:
3771850
location:
Elmwood mine, Smith Co., Tennessee, USA
description:
Very pretty light purple glassy gemmy crystals of fluorite to 1.0 cm on edge on a crystallized sphalerite matrix with chalcopyrite and pyrite. What makes this extra neat is that there is a small but very sharp crystal of enargite present. The species is terribly uncommon in this mining district. The identity of the enargite has been confirmed. In very good condition overall.
