This is a large, beautiful plate of pink fluorite from the recent finds in Mexico, a find that has been particularly exciting in light of the prohibitive cost of pink fluorite from the Alps and Peru (a specimen this size is unheard of from these localities). The crystals, to 1.8 cm, are unusually transparent on this specimen, with fine deep pink color and good sharpness. This is one of the few specimens of any size and quality which when trimmed left a rim of white contrasting matrix, which adds a lot to its overall beauty. A real show-stopper! 16.5 x 16 x 4 cm
