Cobaltoan Calcite (fluorescent)

Item Description

Glassy, lustrous, pleasing pink and light brown, dogtooth, cobaltoan calcite crystals totally cover the sculptural, mounded matrix on this striking and excellent specimen from Bou Azzer. A preferential coating of second-generation, drusy, pastel-pink cobaltoan calcite is evident on the backside. Periphery wear is noted on one side of the knob, but is a modest detraction. Fine, bi-colored, cobaltoan calcite from recent finds. Beautiful reddish-orange fluorescence.
