Pale green translucent Fluorite is intergrown with silvery Arsenopyrite with a sprinkling of sub-botryoidal bright green Malachite. The Malachite has an glossy almost plastic look, becoming more matt pastel green where it forms a finer coating on the Fluorite. The Fluorite shows some crystal faces, measuring to around 2.5cm in size. Most likely mined from the upper levels of Wheal Gorland.
