A classic golden calcite from the legendary Elmwood Mine near Carthage, Smith County, Tennessee, one of the most celebrated calcite localities in the world. Elmwood calcite is famous among collectors for its rich golden color, gemmy clarity, and sharp, elongated scalenohedral crystals, and fine specimens from this now-closed mine are increasingly hard to find.
This striking natural calcite crystal showcases a beautifully formed, elongated termination with warm golden hues, translucent clarity, and sharp geometric faces that reflect light with exceptional brilliance. Accompanying sphalerite, the zinc ore for which the Elmwood Mine was worked, adds authentic locality character and contrast to the golden calcite.
Measuring an impressive 6 x 2.8 inches, this raw Elmwood calcite combines a world-famous provenance with aesthetic elegance, making it a standout display piece for fine mineral cabinets, luxury interiors, and curated collections.
