Description from the seller

An aesthetic specimen featuring one of the famous Emilio ice cubes that have until recently been largely ignored by most collectors outside of Spain and are only gaining popularity after the mine closed down not too long ago. The piece itself is strongly dominated by a single optical fluorite cube with well-marked hazy zonations composed mainly by fluid inclusions that appear along with other similar ones set atop very lustrous porcelain-like white baryte blades that coat a massive baryte matrix.
