I'd appreciate your help identifying the minerals present in the specimen below and any info you can provide regarding locality. This specimen is heavy, weighing 5 lb 9 oz and measures approximately 4 1/2" x 3 1/4" x 5 3/4".
As always, my sincere thanks for your help. I look forward to your input.

I neglected to mention that this specimen has a very waxy feel. Does this jive with fluorite?
Also, there is a pink band near the bottom of the specimen that appears to have the same waxy feel except in a few small spots at the end where it appears the specimen was separated from the host specimen. I've attached some additional photos of this pink band. Do you think this a different mineral or the same mineral (fluorite?) in a different form?
Again my thanks.
