Item Description

An attractive cluster of Cobaltoan Calcite rhombs from the famous Mashamba West Mine with intense, strong color and waxy luster. Actually gemmy-to-translucent, the curved rhombs have a very good luster and appealing, pinkish-raspberry color. Ranging up to about 7 mm, the intergrown crystals, especially with their slightly-rounded habit, make this cluster look almost botryoidal in nature at first glance. This visual twist adds to an already nice aesthetic.
