Fluorite : CaF₂

	Navidad Mine (Mina Navidad), Rodeo, Mun. de Rodeo, Durango, Mexico Until these pink fluorites were discovered in Mexico, Peru and the Alps were the only sources for pink fluorite, and the cost of a specimen such as this was (and still is) astronomical from those localities.

Can you imagine if this were from the Alps? Until these pink fluorites were discovered in Mexico, Peru and the Alps were the only sources for pink fluorite, and the cost of a specimen such as this was (and still is) ...

Then, this fine new batch came in, and they cherry-picked the lot for us before distributing it! Until these pink fluorites were discovered in Mexico, Peru and the Alps were the only sources for pink fluorite, and the cost of a specimen such as ...
