Mineral Specimen #680 Fluorite with included Sphalerite
Elmwood Mine, Carthage, Smith Co., Tennessee, USA
This light purple colored Fluorite cube grew on a ridge of red, semi-gemmy Sphalerite which is now included in it. Although the Fluorite is not totally transparent, it is clear enough to see the red Sphalerite. The specimen is in good condition with just a very small cleave on one corner.
