Item Description
From a discovery in 2012, this is about as intense as cobaltoan Calcite gets. The color is a deep intense purplish-pink with excellent luster, and translucency. The piece could actually be used in lapidary arts since there is a thick coverage of Calcite on the matrix. If you collect Calcites, or even more specifically cobaltoan Calcites, or even just Moroccan minerals, don't miss out on this electric colored specimen.
