This is an opportunity to own an amazing piece of US fluorite and mineralogical history. Discovered in March 2023, the Ice Cream Igloo Pocket is considered a significant fluorite find, and is important to New Mexico mineralogical history. The Crystalary along with it’s fluorite loving community funded the extraction making recovery of the largest specimen, known as The Beast, possible for miners,Two Guys One Hole (Michael Eggleton and Bradley Culebro) in July of 2023. This find is significant to New Mexico Mineralogy not only due to the size spanning 5 feet across, but also for its homo epitaxy growth unique to the locality, and thought to have been lost to a fire that occured at the New Mexico Mineral Museum in the 1920s. This pocket produced a number of superb large to very large primarily fluorite and quartz museum specimens, some with associated galena. The seafoam green and purple fluorite is a stunning color combination, making an excellent addition to any collection. Grab one while you can, these are our last pieces. The pocket was back filled at the time of the recovery of The Beast in July 2023. This particular specimen is considered a \"Lily Pad\"- It is a piece from the ceiling of the pocket.

Marty Zinn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eWhat first caught my eye about this specimen was the remarkable contrast between the vivid yellow paradamite crystals and the richly colored limonitic matrix. The bright, translucent crystal clusters glow against the deep iron-rich host rock, creating a striking presentation that immediately commands attention. It is the kind of color combination that has made Ojuela one of the world's most beloved localities for secondary minerals.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paradamite occurs as several well-developed crystal rosettes distributed naturally across the matrix, allowing each group to stand out individually while contributing to a balanced overall composition. Their radiating blades have attractive translucency and warm golden-yellow hue that changes subtly as the specimen is viewed under different lighting. The generous spacing between the crystal groups gives each one room to be appreciated without overcrowding the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the Ojuela Mine is celebrated for producing hundreds of mineral species, paradamite remains among its more elusive secondary arsenates. Formed during the oxidation of arsenic-rich ore bodies, the species is encountered far less frequently than many of Ojuela's better-known classics. Well-crystallized examples with multiple attractive crystal groups are especially desirable, combining rarity with the unmistakable aesthetics for which the locality is famous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdding further distinction is its provenance.
