Until these pink fluorites were discovered in Mexico, Peru and the Alps were the only sources for pink fluorite, and the cost of them was (and still is) astronomical from those localities. Now, these are all mined out! While this is not a top specimen - the crystals are flattish and have whitish internal fracturing in places - it is large, and there is a lot of pink here! The crystals measure to about 1.2 cm across.
