A pinnacle of South American fluorite. This master-grade specimen from the high-altitude Atacocha Mine features sharp, octahedral crystals in a saturated emerald green that rivals the finest gems. What elevates this piece for the connoisseur is the presence of rare Geocronite, a lead antimony arsenic sulfide—occurring as subtle metallic inclusions within the translucent fluorite. We selected this piece for its architectural geometry and its exceptional clarity, which allows light to ignite the vivid green core of the octahedral faces.
