Item Description
Magenta-pink crystals of Talmessite are abundantly distributed on a pink Dolomite matrix from one of the best world localities for the species. Talmessite is an uncommon hydrous calcium-magnesium arsenate and the Aghbar Mine Mine has produced exceptional specimens for the species. They can range in color from white to red, apparently, depending on the inclusions. This one is very colorful! This piece consists of dozens of two-toned (zoned) bright magenta-pink colored, 1 to 3 mm crystals good luster that are nicely composed on a scintillating matrix of low-profile, botryoidal, translucent pink Dolomite. Pink-colored Calcite, also included with cobalt for color, forms the matrix of this attractive piece.
