This is one of the most vividly coloured fluorites I have seen from Milpo, with bi coloured zoning that ranges from bright emerald green to a richly saturated turquoise.
The crystal has a chunky modified octahedral form and a beautifully etched surface, with areas of highly detailed texture broken by clearer windows that allow one to peer through into the interior - a mesmerising inner world. There are also scattered dark metallic inclusions and fine needle like inclusions visible internally, adding another layer of detail when viewed closely.
There is a shallow scalloped chip along one of the clearer sections of the crystal, which is reflected in the price. While it's visible on inspection, it does very little to diminish the impact of the colour or the crystal form.
