Item Description

INTENSE NEON-PINK sparkly spherical aggregates of cobaltoan calcite microcrystals are aesthetically intergrown and form a shockingly colorful and sculptural small cabinet from the famous Mashamba West Mine. Malachite microcrystal clusters and isolated crystals are superlative contrasts and accents. The banding in the front adds character and the sawed base helps to make this an outstanding display combination. This is about THE most vivid pink you will see in the mineral kingdom. Classic, beautiful and most colorful combination material.
