Item Description
An nice display specimen of flashy purplish-pink, gemmy, lustrous, scalenohedral crystals of the very desirable cobaltoan variety of Calcite up to 1 mm on matrix. One of the most classic localities for the material, which has produced arguably some of the best specimens in the world. Unmatched color in the mineral world, and incredibly iconic for collectors. Ex John Arnaud Collection.
