This is a pretty little Milpo piece, with a lot packed into only 30mm.
The fluorite is a vivid turquoise green, formed as a modified octahedron with a heavily etched texture across much of the surface. Several clearer patches interrupt the etched areas and reveal much stronger colour within, especially through the core zone where the green is deeply saturated.
Pyrite is scattered around the fluorite in small sparkly clusters, with some sharp cubic crystals tucked around the lower edge. A tight group of clear quartz sits beneath one side of the fluorite, adding another layer of detail and making the specimen feel much more complete than its size suggests.
There are also several small recessed areas across the fluorite that expose the interior of the crystal. They give wonderful views into the colour zoning and internal growth.
