Cobaltoan Calcite (superb old classic circa mid-1980s)

Item Description

Katanga cobaltoan calcites are simply one of the most desirable calcite varietals in the world, due to their unique vivid pink color and sharp scalenohedral form. Mashamba West Mine pieces are unsurpassed and are considered to be the very finest. They were collected in the mid-1980s. This superb and pristine, architectural pair has rich color, translucence and frosted faces. Rarely on the market in this quality. These are usually reserved for the Gallery, but wanted our customers to have a chance to obtain an outstanding specimen at a competitive price and I was lucky to obtain this in a large exchange that makes it possible. Valued at $2500-3000
