Fluorite Rainbow with Yellow Calcite Chalcopyrite Pipefish are a widespread group

Pipefish are a widespread group of tropical marine and freshwater fish most closely related to the more well-known seahorses

and under optimal conditions these insects will be clearly visible within the fossilized amber pieces

where some truly impressive specimens like this very rarely emerge from the mines

The name fluorite comes from its use as a flux, or chemical cleaning agent, in iron smelting and other metallurgy.
