A fine specimen of the rare and desirable pink shade of fluorite, from Peru. These transparent octahedrons (to 1.5 cm) are made particularly attractive by a blush of green in the center of the specimen. The crystals are wrapped 360 degrees around a small bit of matrix in the center-bottom of the specimen, which you can actually see through some of the crystals. These were found in the late 1980s. Beautiful! 5 x 4.5 x 2.5 cm
