Item Description

Shocking, lustrous, vivid pink cobaltoan calcite rhombs richly line a 4.3 cm vug in matrix on this showy and excellent specimen from recent finds at the well-known Mashamba West Mine of Zaire. The crystals just have this amazing saturation of color. I have NOT seen many of these around, so if you''re into color, here''s something you would love!
