Item Description

An impressive, large, 3-dimensional plate is covered with intergrown spherical clusters of glassy, translucent, pastel-pink to rose-pink, calcite prisms from recent finds at Bou Azzer. The crystals reach about 1.5 cm. A few small areas of broken or bruised crystals are noted, but are certainly only a modest detraction to this showy, rich and colorful piece. Classic Moroccan cobaltoan calcite.
