Item Description
A hard to find Erythrite specimen from the now closed Mount Cobalt Mine in Queensland, Australia. According to the listing on mindat.org, this locality produced 766 tons of cobalt from 1921-1934. This piece was likely collected off of the dumps of the mine, and is a good overall example of the beautiful Erythrites that came from this locality. The piece hosts attractive, rich pink colored "sprays" comprising thin acicular crystals of Erythrite on matrix. The best viewing experience comes with magnification, but the piece still looks nice to the naked eye. If you collect cobalt-bearing minerals, or if you're a fan of Australian minerals, this is a cool piece from a locality that closed many years ago to add to your collection.
