Elmwood, in Smith County, Tennessee, is a Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT) lead-zinc deposit; fluorite, barite, and sphalerite were incidental byproducts of zinc mining there, yet their well-formed crystals and saturated color have made Elmwood one of the world's most celebrated specimen localities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" data-sourcepos=\"26:1-26:354;1336-1689\"\u003eColor shifts from a lighter lavender toward deeper violet along the crystal edges, with faces that carry a clean, glassy luster in the light; several crystals show stepped growth patterns — locally known as \"Carthage corners\" — a record of repeated dissolution and recrystallization. Generous in scale, this is a specimen built to anchor a display case.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taiwan Mineral Shop by The Brothers' Stones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917816139839,"sku":"FL25027","price":6800.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/3779\/2575\/files\/Fluorite_Tennessee-FL25027_4.jpg?v=1785961296","url":"https:\/\/mineral-taiwanshop.thebrothersstones.com\/en-eu\/products\/elmwood-mine-fluorite","provider":"Taiwan Mineral Shop by The Brothers' Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
