Purple Fluorite on an unknown matrix with a little bit of Green Fluorite

Purchased as from Bolivia with no further information


Any ideas where this could come from, more specifically?

Possibly the Independencia/Cerro Sapo area in Ayopaya province. There seems to be large masses of such massive fine-grained fluorite, and barite, associated with the nepheline syenite and carbonatite intrusions.
