Item Description
Striking opposing clusters of sharp pink scalenohedrons and greenish-brown patches of the rare anhydrous Cu-Co carbonate, Kolwezite are dramatically set on the shocking, massive vivid pink layered cobaltoan calcite. The striking large central scalenohedron is 3.5 cm. Combination specimens of this color, richness, style and quality are RARE from the famous mines of Kolwezi and this is a very fine example.
