This example is considerably lighter, allowing the internal structure of the crystals to remain visible while stronger violet colour is concentrated along the outer edges and corners. The resulting zoning gives the cubes excellent definition, particularly where overlapping crystals reveal successive bands of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fluorite ranges from translucent to locally transparent, with broad reflective faces, stepped growth and occasional textured areas across the larger crystals. Numerous cubes overlap across the specimen in different orientations, creating a complex surface without losing the recognisable cubic habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fluorite sits on a relatively restrained matrix that provides enough contrast and structure to support the crystal group without adding excessive weight or dominating the specimen.

Internally the fluorite is packed with dark mineral inclusions, the most striking of which are fine needle growth that is consistent with boulangerite, an association that has appeared in more recent Milpo material. Galena is also present, adding darker metallic areas around the crystal and internally. Recent Milpo specimens with boulangerite inclusions are being specifically noted as a newer feature from the locality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSeveral stationary fluid bubbles are visible within the fluorite. They don't move freely like classic mobile enhydros, but they add another layer of internal detail to an already feature filled crystal. Under strong light, the body transforms from pale sea green through deeper internal zones, allowing the inclusions to become increasingly visible as the crystal is turned.
