Rare Elmwood Fluorite on Sphalerite

The elusive Elmwood Fluorite on gemmy Sphalerite, displaying “digital” formations on all faces and “Carthage corners”

The Elmwood Mines in Tennessee are temporarily closed since November 30th 2023. Whilst 75% of workers have been laid off, they are currently keeping pumps running with a skeleton crew whilst hoping prices for zinc go up and economic conditions improve.

The mines are primarily zinc mines but they also produce the incredible Elmwood Fluorites. BUT with the price of zinc dropping, it is not financially viable for them to keep the mines open. This means that if the price of zinc remains the same and the mines close for good we will no longer be able to get these highly prized Fluorite specimens and of course the price of these will sky rocket making them incredible investment pieces.

Elmwood Fluorite stock is already drying up and being snapped up by collectors and high quality pieces such as this are few and far between.

To assist customers in “stretching” to higher-value specimens, we are happy to work with you on payment plans for orders over £150 with terms starting from 2 months all the way to 12 months for larger purchases . Full payment must be made within the calendar year.
Payment plans are not applicable for items that are discounted or on sale.

1. A 25% NON-REFUNDABLE down payment is required to initiate the payment plan and reserve the item(s), due immediately upon receipt of the first invoice. This 25% will be of the total purchase price including shipping and taxes (if applicable). If you’d like to put down more than 25%, we can adjust the remaining payments accordingly.

2. The remaining 75% (or less, if more than 25% was paid initially) will be divided into monthly payments of equal amounts to be completed within the calendar year. The number of payments is subject to discussion with a member of staff who will work closely with clients to custom tailor payment plans.

3. Clients will receive an invoice to initiate payment – subsequent invoices will be emailed to you monthly. Cancellation or failure to pay invoices with a lapse of 10 days will result in cancellation of the payment plan and forfeiture of the item and 25% non-refundable deposit and admin fee. Any amount paid in excess of the non-refundable deposit would be refunded via the method of payment used.

4. There is no penalty for early payment. At any time, clients may reach out to a sales team member to pay the remaining balance in full.

5. Upon completion of the payment plan in full, the specimen(s) will be shipped to the client.

6. Items purchased via payment plan are subject to a no-refund policy. Items may be returned at the expense of the buyer for credit equal to the item price (minus taxes and shipping costs) to be applied to any other full price item in inventory. Unused credit will not be refunded in these cases.
