Latest Update - 3/28/2008!

Full of Great NEW Specimens From the Elmwood Mine!

Taking a look inside one of the many crystal pockets in the Elmwood Mine!
Huge golden Calcites line the cavity along side creamy Barite blooms, shiny
Sphalerite crystals, and lavander Fluorites. It's a virtual dream world of color.

Here you can see some of the tools of removal. Styrofoam boards cushion the fall
of large crystals while rags further insulate the clusters and points from damage
during the haul to the surface. These pockets can get rather narrow and working
in such tight quarters can be claustrophobic but the gorgeous mix of minerals
makes the job well worth it. That's what makes Elmwood such a classic locality.

And here's the end result of all that work and effort. Gorgeous mineral
combination specimens that only the Elmwood mine can offer! Lustrous
black Sphalerite hosting bluish-purple Fluorite cubes, golden Calcites,
and a huge creamy Barite bloom smothering the Fluorites underneath.
This beathtaking specimen is part of the Gallery Hall of Fame Collection.
