Large octahedrons, to 6 cm across, of lustrous and translucent, light green fluorite are emplaced on lustrous, battleship gray crystals of galena, to 1.5 cm across. For added effect there are crystals of drusy, brassy yellow pyrite scattered about on the fluorites

A glassy and gemmy, light-green crystal of fluorite, measuring 2.5 cm across, is nearly surrounded by rosettes of lustrous and translucent, white calcite to 8 mm in length. A drusy coating of brassy yellow pyrite also provides a halo for the fluorite crystal and creates an unusual combination piece

A superb small cabinet piece from the 2006 finds here, one which I sold at the time. The specimen is notable for its display qualities, and the rich contrasting association to the jet black sphalerite. Three crystals of lustrous and gemmy , nearly colorless fluorite to 3 cm across, are aesthetically perched high on a matrix of intergrown clusters of lustrous, metallic sphalerite (along with minor galena and chalcopyrite). The sphalerite is complexly crystallized form smaller crystals, and so throws off a lot of reflections in person, complementing the transparent fluorites above - through which the light just flies on through. The largest fluorite crystal exhibits a green color center although their "bodies" are colorless. Although not in the Heck collection of Mexican minerals as are most others in this update, this piece is from the Stoudt collection which I also recently acquired, and so fit well within the larger update. Out of hundreds and hundreds of pieces I handled (i bought entire lots direct at the mine, in this time), this was one of my favorites of the lot and i recommended it to one of my closest friends and collectors at the time, because of that reason. I stand by it today...such a quality has not been found since, and for my personal taste this remains one of the very finest of the find in its size range.

Chalcopyrite, patinated green by oxidation, is the host for a spectacular, glassy and gemmy, octahedral crystal of fluorite, 2 cm in length, which is perched high on its matrix. The colorless fluorite crystal exhibits unusual growth on its crystal edges , and the faces appear to be slightly concave. In fact, the overall appearance of the fluorite is that of stepped growth, similar to the pyramids, but with some curves on closer inspection. The combination of fluorite on chalcopyrite is highly unusual from ANY locality

This is an unbelievable 6 cm (!!) spherical, honey-colored Fluorite with shiny, silky luster and a gemmy core. And...it is resting on Amethyst for amazing contrast! Very rarely will you find an Indian Fluorite this good, for both quality and size. It also happens to be perched in a well-balanced, colorful matrix. One of my favorites of all I have seen mined to date
