Crystal ClassicsFeatured
Tucson, Arizona, USAThe intensity of colour of the newly discovered green Fluorite from Milpo mine in the remote Atacocha mining district in Peru is remarkable. This miniature specimen presents a small aggregate of aligned cubo-octahedral crystals. These crystals are nicely formed, and quite large at 2.8 cm across, but their surfaces are quite abraded and pitted, with edge-wear too. Technically speaking, these Fluorite crystals form a floater, as there are no obvious broken surfaces - the base being coated in a layer of Pyrite. With backlighting, the internal brightness of the Fluorite shines through to produce a really lovely display. The base of these crystals is coated in a fine layer of small (1 to 2 mm) pyritohedron Pyrite crystals, which is the classic association from this deposit.
