Item Description
A rich cabinet specimen filled with intense pink colored, lustrous, gemmy, trigonal crystals of the very desirable cobalt-bearing variety of Calcite measuring up to 7 mm in an open vug on matrix. Minor roughness can be seen in a few spots, so the piece is not perfect, but the color is really eye-catching as you almost never see minerals with this color. Bou Azzer is of the most classic localities for the material, which has produced arguably the best specimens in the world in terms of color and quality. Former Les Presmyk dealer stock. The piece shows vivid reddish-pink fluorescence under SW UV light.
