Aesthetic Octahedral Fluorite on Pyrite- Milpo Atacocha | River Walkers Minerals

Dimensions: 2 x 1.4 x 1.4”

Weight: 80g

Locality: Milpo Mine, Atacocha Mining District, Cerro de Pasco, Pasco, Peru

This is a really aesthetic green octahedral fluorite sitting over a bed of sparkling pyrite. The color is strong and clean, and it has that classic Milpo glow you only find in the higher quality pieces. 

The surface has a natural etched texture from how it formed, which gives it some character without taking away from the clarity. The pyrite underneath is packed with bright, reflective crystals that catch the light from every angle and add a lot of contrast. The pyrite also has grown inside the fluorite crystal.

Everything about this specimen is exceptionally well-balanced, making it a perfect fit for any serious collection.
