Item Description
Shocking, lustrous, neon-pink cobaltoan calcite rhombs richly cover matrix on this showy and excellent specimen from recent finds at the well-known Mashamba West Mine of Zaire. The crystals just have this amazing saturation of color. The large crystal is 1.0 cm. The bit of bruising is noted, but is a modest detraction to this striking piece. I have NOT seen many of these around, so if you''re into color, here''s something you would love!
