This is a lovely little Milpo fluorite with a soft apple green colour and a beautifully detailed surface, studded with Sphalerite crytals. The crystal has a modified octahedral form with subtle stepped growth, and scattered transparent windows.
Looking closely into the fluorite reveals several distinct fluid inclusions, including multiple non mobile enhydros. These are especially easy to pick out through the clearer sections of the crystal and add a really interesting internal feature to an already detailed piece.
Small areas of pyrite and additional sphalerite sit around the base and along one side, with the darker sphalerite crystals scattered over the fluorite itself. Stunning!
