Fluorite on Pyrite

Dimensions: 7.1 x 5 x 11cm Location: Milpo mine, Atacocha district, Cerro de Pasco, Pasco province, Peru All the mineralogical criteria of a very beautiful collector's piece are gathered here: Quality, brilliance, gem, luster, color and proportion in this superb combination and also rarity, because very few intact and flawless specimens were found. A remarkable specimen with beautiful cuboidal-octahedral crystals offering a striking contrast against the pyrite. This 2022/2023 discovery in the Milpo mine, located at an altitude of 4000m and mined for its silver/lead/copper sulfides, is one of the most extraordinary of recent years. Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen. The mineral is not glued to the base (flexible sealant).
