Fluorite - Elmwood Mine USA

Size: 6,5 x 5,5 x 3 cm

Location: Elmwood Mine - Smith Co. - Tennessee - USA

 

This extraordinary specimen from the famous Elmwood Mine combines delicate color nuances with a strong crystal structure in a fascinating way. The fluorite cubes are harmoniously formed and present a beautiful play of colors: soft pale pink, framed by darker purple edges. These color transitions appear natural and soft—like a watercolor painting by nature, captured in geometric perfection.

 

Fluorite cubes – masterpieces of nature

The fluorite cubes in this piece are of impressive quality: sharp-edged and clearly defined. Their surfaces reveal an exciting mix of finely structured areas and smooth, highly transparent tips. These variations create a lively interplay of light and shadow. Depending on the viewing angle, new details are revealed: soft reflections, matte textures, or shiny surfaces that catch the light.

 

Play of colors – between delicacy and depth

The coloration is particularly fascinating: the pale pink center appears almost ethereally light, while the darker violet edges lend the cubes depth and presence. This zone-like color distribution within a crystal is a characteristic quality feature and highly sought after by collectors. Under good lighting, the colors unfold in all their splendor, especially when light gently streams through the transparent areas.

 

Elmwood Mine – Source of breathtaking fluorite creations

The Elmwood Mine is world-famous for its exceptional fluorite finds. Among other things, pieces with this light color palette are particularly sought after, as most Elmwood specimens are a rich purple. Pale pink fluorites with distinct color zones are therefore among the most coveted varieties among collectors and museums.

 

For collectors with an eye for subtlety and expression

This piece pays homage to the subtle beauty of the mineral world—delicate yet powerful in its charisma and presence. It is ideal for a tasteful collection in which both color and form play a role. Especially in a well-lit display case, this fluorite piece will unfold its full poetry and attract attention.
