Cobaltoan Calcite w/ Malachite (excellent)

Item Description

SHOCKING INTENSE NEON PINK-RED COLOR IN PERSON on these sparkly cobaltoan calcite microcrystals. The spherical aggregates fill a sculptural vug on this incredibly colorful striking specimen from the famous Mashamba West Mine. This is a top percentile vibrant pink hue. A scattering of primary malachite crystals is a super accent. Modest periphery wear is noted, but this remains a killer color and is very highly representative for this species and noted locale. This specimen would brighten up any collection. Valued at $800-1000 for sheer color and sparkle value and comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $145, for free. These are some of the most saturated colors you wilL EVER see in the mineral world, and came out briefly about 5-7 years ago.
