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.

The Emilio mine in Asturias, Spain has been known for producing beautiful colourless to violet fluorite specimens since the 1980s, with the widest range of possibilities in crystallography of the whole Caravia mining area. Specimens found there display various habits, combinations of isometric system as well as mineral associations, including baryte, quartz or calcite, as well as inclusions such as pyrite, chalcopyrite, cinnabar, sphalerite, etc.

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.

One of those few fluorite specimens from the Emilio Mine with hydrocarbon inclusions (the round, black “ink droplets”)- a mineral combo beloved by fluorite collectors, thanks to the distinctive “black & white” aesthetic between the glassy, colourless fluorite and black bitumen.

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.

An interesting, multi-layered specimen with intricate stepped fluorite growths resembling the sharp highs and lows of a cityscape. The colourless crystals are exceptionally water-clear, with phantoms of gentle greens and yellows throughout.
