A striking specimen featuring vibrant calcite crystals perched atop deep sphalerite from the legendary Elmwood Mine in Tennessee. The contrasting minerals create visual depth, with the calcite's clarity and geometric form complementing the sphalerite's rich, metallic luster. At 8x4x8.5cm, this piece offers substantial presence for display or collection.
Elmwood specimens are highly sought by collectors for their quality and historical significance. The combination of these two minerals—calcite's transparent brilliance against sphalerite's darker, resinous character—demonstrates the mine's reputation for producing aesthetically balanced specimens.
A standout addition to any serious mineral collection, this piece exemplifies the collecting appeal of Tennessee's most celebrated mineral locality.
