Sphalerite
Elmwood mine, Carthage, Central Tennessee Ba-F-Pb-Zn District, Smith Co., Tennessee, USA
Small Cabinet, 9.0 x 4.8 x 2.8 cm
SOLD
This is very rare material, from an old, one-time find at the Elmwood Mine. Sphalerite from the Elmwood is common (it is the zinc or that was the reason for the mine), but these crystals are iridescent, throwing off shimmering colors. Note the little purple fluorite.
