Sphalerite specimen is from the legendary Elmwood Mine in Carthage, Tennessee. This is an iconic locality known to collectors, gemologists, and stone medicine practitioners because of the high vibrational stones from this mine. Measuring approximately 6.5 x 3 x 3 inches, this cabinet-sized piece exhibits saturated orange-brown sphalerite crystals with exceptional luster and depth, showcasing the hallmark qualities that made Elmwood minerals some of the most coveted in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"986\" data-start=\"654\"\u003eOnce a working zinc mine, the Elmwood site produced not only industrial ore but some of the finest crystallized specimens of sphalerite, calcite, barite, and fluorite ever discovered. Now closed, Elmwood specimens like this one are finite and increasingly difficult to acquire, making this a legacy piece for any serious collection.\u003cstrong data-end=\"1006\" data-start=\"988\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"1625\" data-start=\"988\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1006\" data-start=\"988\"\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"1625\" data-start=\"988\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1026\" data-start=\"1009\"\u003eMINERAL TYPE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sphalerite\u003cbr data-end=\"1040\" data-start=\"1037\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1048\" data-start=\"1040\"\u003eCUT:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural cluster (crystallized specimen)\u003cbr data-end=\"1091\" data-start=\"1088\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1106\" data-start=\"1091\"\u003ePHENOMENON:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr data-end=\"1114\" data-start=\"1111\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1124\" data-start=\"1114\"\u003eCOLOR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange-brown\u003cbr data-end=\"1140\" data-start=\"1137\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1152\" data-start=\"1140\"\u003eCLARITY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Translucent to opaque (natural crystal faces)\u003cbr data-end=\"1201\" data-start=\"1198\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1218\" data-start=\"1201\"\u003eTRANSPARENCY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Translucent\u003cbr data-end=\"1233\" data-start=\"1230\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1244\" data-start=\"1233\"\u003eWEIGHT:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.10 lbs (952.5 grams)\u003cbr data-end=\"1270\" data-start=\"1267\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1279\" data-start=\"1270\"\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 x 3 x 3 inches\u003cbr data-end=\"1301\" data-start=\"1298\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1312\" data-start=\"1301\"\u003eORIGIN:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elmwood Mine, Carthage, Smith County, Tennessee, USA\u003cbr data-end=\"1368\" data-start=\"1365\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1382\" data-start=\"1368\"\u003eTREATMENT:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr data-end=\"1390\" data-start=\"1387\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1403\" data-start=\"1390\"\u003eHARDNESS:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5–4 (Mohs scale)\u003cbr data-end=\"1425\" data-start=\"1422\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1451\" data-start=\"1425\"\u003eREFRACTIVE INDEX (RI):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.37–2.42\u003cbr data-end=\"1464\" data-start=\"1461\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1482\" data-start=\"1464\"\u003eBIREFRINGENCE:\u003c\/strong\u003e None (isotropic)\u003cbr data-end=\"1502\" data-start=\"1499\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1528\" data-start=\"1502\"\u003eSPECIFIC GRAVITY (SG):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.9–4.1\u003cbr data-end=\"1539\" data-start=\"1536\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1558\" data-start=\"1539\"\u003eCRYSTAL SYSTEM:\u003c\/strong\u003e Isometric\u003cbr data-end=\"1571\" data-start=\"1568\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1596\" data-start=\"1571\"\u003eCHEMICAL COMPOSITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e (Zn,Fe)S (Zinc Iron Sulfide)\u003cstrong data-end=\"1665\" data-start=\"1632\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"1625\" data-start=\"988\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1665\" data-start=\"1632\"\u003eVIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY PROFILE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"1625\" data-start=\"988\"\u003eThis Elmwood sphalerite specimen emits energy from the orange band of the vibrational spectrum, a frequency known for catalyzing energy on both the physical and emotional levels.
