Item Description
A pretty specimen of the gorgeous, highly-regarded Cobaltian Calcite from Bou Azzer, Morocco. The lovely, slightly curving Calcite cubes average about .6 cm on edge and have a rich but delicate rose-pink color. The luster is silky, which gives the gemmy crystals a glowing translucent appearance. These Cobaltian Calcites cover the entire knob, except the very top-rear, where they have been abraded off. A lovely Large Miniature, for sheer color and attractiveness.
