Item Description

This is a wonderful example of glowing pink, neon-colored cluster of Cobaltoan Calcite. The crystals are naturally bright and lustrous, multifaceted and gemmy up close. This is a good "hand" sized cabinet example from the finds of the late 1980s that simply still are among the most colorful mineral specimens ever found. There are a few scars on the display side, but it still has great color, luster and it just sparkles in the light. Valued at $1800.
