A cluster of vivid pink fluorapatite crystals, intergrown on a matrix of white albite crystals. 

The La Marina Mine, located in the Pauna municipality of the Boyacá Department in Colombia, is renowned for its exceptional mineral specimens, particularly vivid blue euclase and intense-pink fluorapatite. Situated in Colombia's fabled Emerald Belt, the mine has produced world-class specimens that are highly prized by collectors. The fluorapatite crystals from La Marina are noted for their intense pink coloration and glassy luster, making them some of the most sought-after specimens from the region.
