Item Description
This is a glowing, neon pink cluster of Cobaltoan Calcite with the color due to cobalt content. The crystals are gemmy to translucent, naturally bright and lustrous, multifaceted, and range up to 1 cm long. The specimen just sparkles. This showy example is probably from the finds of the late 1980s, and they simply are among the most colorful mineral specimens ever found. Aesthetic and attractive. Unusually, it has small freestanding copper crystals on one surface. From old dealer stock of Herb Obodda, priced at $500 on his label from 2008 or before.
