Item Description
The size of these cobaltoan calcite crystals is just remarkable compared to the average specimen you see from Bou Azer - these sharp scalenohedrons rise to 1.3 cm above the matrix! Pretty pink blush color with silky micro-stepped faces. A very rich specimen with unusually pastel color. There are even more crystals on the back. We buy all we can of this very distinctive and uncommon varietal. This outstanding piece displays fabulously from three sides, as you can see! Choose your favorite.
