Item Description

Translucent, vivid pink cobaltoan calcite in subtle botryoids covers the sculptural plate on this striking, colorful small cabinet from a New Find at the cave karsts of the Wenshan Mine. The banded crust has a sugary texture and the internal fractures look like waves, adding pizzazz. The richess of the pink color is noteworthy. Purchased in China, direct from the miners!
