ICE CREAM CONE FLUORITE… AND THIS ONE IS A BANGER

ICE CREAM CONE FLUORITE… AND THIS ONE IS A BANGER.

Nature really decided to have some fun with this one.

An incredible “Ice Cream Cone” Fluorite from the legendary Elmwood Mine, Carthage, Smith County, Tennessee—and the form is just ridiculous. That broad, sharply defined purple termination sitting above the lighter, glassy body gives it the unmistakable look of a perfectly formed ice cream cone.

The contrast is what gets me—the soft lavender transparency through the body transitioning into that deep purple, finely textured cap. Add the sharp geometry, internal detail, and classic Elmwood character and you have one seriously memorable little crystal.

Sometimes Mother Nature has a sense of humor… and apparently a sweet tooth.
