Mango Quartz [SiOโ] โ The only sunshine โ๏ธ
Its transparent crystals with yellow tips are fascinating from every angle. The brilliant color comes from Halloysite inclusions, a mineral that visually enriches the quartz.
The brilliant color comes from Halloysite inclusions, a mineral that visually enriches the quartz and is a type of clay mineral that forms under hydrothermal conditions.
The Halloysite inclusions that give Mango Quartz its characteristic yellow tips are not just visually striking, but also serve as a scientific testament to the specific geological conditions in which the crystal was formed. These conditions typically involve sedimentary or altered rocks, contributing to the unique qualities of this quartz.
In addition to its beauty, quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth, primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiOโ). Known for its remarkable piezoelectric and triboelectric properties, quartz can generate an electrical charge when subjected to pressure or friction. While this property is more pronounced in colorless varieties, Mango Quartz still exhibits these characteristics, making it not only aesthetically pleasing but scientifically intriguing as well.

Mango Quartz [SiOโ] โ Fragment of sunlight
If youโre a mineral enthusiast or looking to start your collection, Mango Quartz is a perfect specimen! Its yellow tips, reminiscent of mango pulp, make it truly unique.
This crystal comes from Cabiche, Colombia, a region renowned for the extraordinary quality of its minerals. The Halloysite inclusions give it this vibrant color, a detail that fascinates both experts and beginners.
The name Mango Quartz originates from the intense yellow color, which resembles the tropical mango fruit. Although this variety was discovered more recently compared to other types of quartz, its aesthetic appeal and rarity have quickly captivated collectors.

Fluorite [CaFโ] โ "Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it." โ Michelangelo
This fluorite specimen from the Elmwood Mine is a masterpiece of nature: the interpenetrating purple crystals create a striking effect, while the shiny black sphalerite matrix provides dramatic contrast. The purple surfaces glow, fading inward to reveal a transparent core. A timeless classic for collectors.
Fluorite is the main source for producing hydrofluoric acid (HF), used in various industrial processes, including glass and electronics manufacturing.
The specimen was carefully selected by MCP and has not undergone any repair or restoration.

Fluorite [CaFโ] โ The Earth has music for those who listen
Fluorites from the Elmwood Mine are among the most recognizable specimens in the world, with their unique combination of purple fluorite, black sphalerite, and small golden chalcopyrite inclusions.
This piece perfectly exemplifies natureโs ability to create forms with an almost futuristic design, making it a true mineral sculpture.
Fluorite is crucial in the metal industry as a flux to remove impurities from iron and aluminum, improving the quality of processed metals.
