Fluorite from the Emilio Mine is known for its colourless and transparent specimens with very lustrous faces in combination with some white barite blades..
Measures approximately 130x105x70 mm  and weighs approximately 1,6 kilogramme.

Very few perfect specimens are found; undamaged ones that do come out are highly sought for. This specimen is almost perfect; only a few partly chipped edges.
Emilio Mine; since the beginning of the 1980’s it has been providing outstanding specimens of fluorite whose crystals have colours varying from colourless to deep violet. They also display a special characteristic, a true hallmark of the specimens coming from Emilio Mine: the great variety of the habits and combinations of the isometric system that occur in the mineral crystals. This varied crystallography is also typical of the whole Caravia mining area, although in Emilio Mine shows the widest range of possibilities.
Another distinctive feature of this locality is the existence of sulfides inclusions (cinnabar, sphalerite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, etc.), this specimen has some small chalcopyrite inclusions near the surface of the fluorite crystals.
It is also common to find organic inclusions (hydrocarbons) and even solid carbon remains.
