Galena and Sphalerite on Druzy Quartz coated Dolomite
Elmwood Mine
Carthage, Smith County, Tennessee
3.0 cm x 3.5 cm x 2.8 cm
Here is a wonderfully aesthetic specimen from the Elmwood Mine.
Amazing inter-grown cubes of silvery Galena sit atop of crystals of sphalerite,
that are perched on a stem of dolomite that is coated in a micro quartz druze.
These tiny quartz appear to mostly be DT crystals,
giving the specimen a great contrast between the sparkle ant the Galena surfaces.
It can almost appear like a hand is holding up the crystals.
I very unique specimen and interesting specimen.
