Item Description

The Huanzala mine in Peru has produced some of the most attractive and impressive Fluorites from all of South America. The mine has produced both green and pink Fluorites, and even pieces with the two colors in the same crystal. This pieces hosts highly modified Fluorite crystals (a cominbation of cube, octahedron and dodecahedron) with a lovely "water green" color with excellent gemminess on one side, and a contrasting "frosted" appearance on the other side. The largest crystal measures 9 mm across. There is some associated Pyrite at the base/underside of the specimes and it is certainly one of the better Huanzala Fluorite specimens that I have had to offer in a while. Enjoy.
