Item Description

A wonderful small cabinet specimen featuring beautiful richly purplish-pink colored crystals of Calcite (var: Cobaltoan) with lustrous faces and good gemminess associated with fine forest green radiating aggregates of Malachite on host rock matrix. Great form, balance and beauty for this classic and hard to find material. The crystals might be on the smaller side, but crystal this size are not often as richly colored as the crystals on this specimen! Very attractive and certainly worth picking up since so little is available on the market. From the collection of Dennis Uridil with and old Rocksmiths label.
