A nice example from the Maraval mine, this well-formed specimen is made up of an intricate, neat network of translucent fluorite cubes which contain the characteristic red hematite and black inclusions. Some of the inclusions also grew outside/atop the fluorite crystals like red snow.

This Emilio specimen is the epitome of when chaos co-exists with order. On its front face, numerous colourless cubic fluorite crystals grow without restraint on a bed of sparkly, silvery quartz. On its side, the neat, smooth surface characteristic of an Emilio specimen emerges, complete with the coveted blue and purple zonings and chalcopyrite inclusions classic to this locality. Truly the best of both worlds.
