Fluorite Mineral Specimen, Pale Blue Cubic Fluorite, Large Cabinet Crystal, Emilio Mine, Asturias, Spain

• One-off natural mineral specimen. You will receive the exact piece shown in the photos.
• Selected for colour, form and display appeal. Once sold, it will not be restocked.
• Photographed under controlled lighting to show the specimen clearly, including colour, zoning, and internal detail. Appearance may vary slightly under different lighting conditions.

A large cabinet fluorite specimen from the Emilio Mine in Asturias, Spain, measuring approximately 16 cm at its longest point and weighing around 1 kg. The surface is densely covered with cubic fluorite, giving the piece considerable depth and presence from several viewing angles.

The fluorite ranges from almost colourless to very pale blue-lilac, with transparent to translucent crystals, bright lustre and extensive stepped cubic growth. Larger cubes rise above layers of smaller intergrown crystals, while small white secondary mineral growths occur naturally between them. Despite its size and complexity, no obvious significant damage is visible across the main display faces.

Emilio Mine is one of the recognised fluorite localities of northern Spain, known among mineral collectors for transparent cubic crystals and complex stepped growth. This specimen stands out primarily for its scale, extensive crystal coverage and the number of well-developed cubes across the display surface rather than relying on a single focal crystal.

Metaphysical

Fluorite is traditionally associated with focus, organisation and mental clarity. This specimen is offered primarily for its mineralogical, locality and collector interest.
