Sphalerite - Elmwood Mine

A little treasure from a legendary American mine!

Some of the world’s finest sphalerite crystals have come from the famous Elmwood Mine near Carthage, Tennessee.

This beautiful miniature features three brilliantly lustrous, dark sphalerite crystals resting on a sparkling crystalline matrix.

The Elmwood Mine is legendary among mineral collectors for its spectacular sphalerite, fluorite, calcite, and other crystallized minerals.

These Elmwood specimens reveal beautiful deep reddish-brown coloration when illuminated from behind—a characteristic that earned them the nickname “Ruby Jack.”

This specimen is mounted on an acrylic stand with dimensions of 3.6 square centimeters, a height of 4 centimeters, & weight of 37 grams.
