Also a lead-zinc mine, the Huanzala Mine is well-known among mineral collectors for its excellent fluorite and pyrite specimens. Fluorites from this locality are mostly deep emerald green, sometimes etched, and usually associated with metallic sulfides. Colourless fluorites are more uncommon, while pink remain the rarest colour from this locality.

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.

A classic example from the Emilio Mine, this colourless specimen is completely glassy, with blue zonings and chalcopyrite inclusions throughout. The translucent appearance and glassy lustre is further enhanced by its beautiful etchings and “digital growths”-like formation.

A peculiar, yet aesthetic Emilio example, with a full square front face, framed neatly by thick zonings of sharp blue and purple. Besides the intricate etchings on most of its faces, this specimen also exhibits the uncommon and unusual corner modifications that gives the crystal an otherwise “puffier”, softer and rounder aesthetic.
