4.30 lb. XL Purple Fluorite on Barite and Sphalerite Specimen from the Elmwood Mine - Collector's Grade
This magnificent 4.3 lb specimen from the now-closed Elmwood Mine in Carthage, Tennessee features a sharply formed purple fluorite cube perched atop a matrix of white barite and lustrous Ruby Jack sphalerite crystals. Measuring 8 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches, this piece is a rare and powerful expression of Elmwood’s legacy, which is an origin collectors, gemologists, and stone medicine practitioners know deeply because of its mineralogical importance and its exceptional energy.
What sets this specimen apart is the presence of what appear to be tiny enhydros, which are microscopic water or gas inclusions trapped inside the fluorite during its formation. These natural fluid inclusions are incredibly rare in fluorite and make this piece virtually priceless to collectors and vibrational practitioners. The cube’s internal structure, clarity, and subtle fluid movement suggest that this is a living archive of ancient Earth processes, held in crystalline form.
This piece also showcases beautiful rainbows inside the fluorite cube that are visible from the front. This specimen is the epitome of a collector's mineral with exceptional formation and color.

VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY PROFILE
This specimen radiates energetic frequencies from both the violet and orange bands of the vibrational spectrum. The violet frequency enhances spiritual perception, clarity, and inner purification. The orange frequency stimulates life force energy, creative flow, and joyful embodiment. Together, they bring about a state of active integration where inner knowing meets grounded presence.
METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Fluorite has the ability to clear deep soul-level imprints from the body and energy field, including genetic memory, skeletal patterns, and soul-level conditioning. It facilitates alignment, coherence, and clarity across the multidimensional self. The potential presence of enhydros adds another layer of energetic significance, as water inclusions in crystal specimens hold memory and magnify the stone’s transmission power.
Barite carries a gentle, yin frequency that supports wholeness, integration, and reunion with the deep inner Self. It has a harmonizing effect on the field and is especially beneficial during spiritual realignment and soul retrieval work.
Sphalerite is grounding and energizing. It stabilizes the system during transformational work and helps one turn insight into action and vision into embodiment, making it a powerful anchor when working with higher frequencies like fluorite and barite.
Together, these three minerals form a trinity of purification, wholeness, and integration, making this specimen not only beautiful but functionally potent in vibrational and metaphysical practice.
