Fluorite on Barite With Calcite
Elmwood Mine, Carthage, Smith County, Tennessee, USA
Cabinet, 10.0 x 9.0 x 6.5 cm
SOLD
A rich purple-zoned, translucent fluorite, to 4.5 cm across is emplaced on sugary white barite and a doubly terminated, glassy, tan crystal of calcite, 7.0 cm across. The only SLIGHT damage is at the left termination of the calcite, and is unimportant to the overall quality of the specimen. The piece is remarkably terminated ALL AROUND because it fell from the pocket well at one time, and then secondary microcrystallization covered over the backside, so that this is really a floater now.
