A rather large example of pink rhodonite from the Chiurucu Mine in Peru. As far as I know, there were two major finds of this material at this locality: one around 1989-90, and a second around 2006-2007. This piece comes from the 06-07 find. Even when I used to go to Peru, larger examples like this were hard to find, and most were somewhat bruised.
