Top Notch Fluorite x Sulfides - Milpo Atacocha | River Walker Minerals

Locale: Milpo Mine, Atacocha mining district, Cerro de Pasco, Pasco, Peru 🇵🇪 

Dimensions: 3.6 x 2.7 x 1.7 in

Weight: 291 g

Here is a striking and highly aesthetic fluorite from the Milpo Mine, featuring a rich, saturated green color with a luminous internal glow. The fluorite presents as a thick, glassy mass with sharp, angular octahedral faces contrasted by areas of natural micro-etching, giving the surface an interesting texture that catches light from every angle.

What sets this piece apart is the dramatic association with metallic sulfides along the matrix, (pyrite with galena), adding strong visual contrast and anchoring the composition. The sulfides form a metallic, sparkling backdrop that enhances the intricacy of the whole piece. 

The crystal shows excellent integrity with no major distractions, and the balance between aesthetic form and mineral association makes it a standout example from this locality. Pieces with this level of color saturation, etchings, and mineral associations are becoming increasingly difficult to source from Milpo.

This piece is a display-forward specimen with both presence and detail, equally suited for a refined collection or high-end inventory.
